2024 LTI#11 Fingers crush injury 10th August Lekwair
On 10.08.2024 at 18.20 during the erection of vent stack, a mechanical crew were trying to align the structure with the base plate's bolts. A Mechanical Fitter was holding a wooden piece underneath the base plate to align with one of the bolts while another crew member was hammering the wooden piece align the bolt with the hole. Unfortunately, the Mechanical Fitter placed his fingers in the line of fire under the wooden piece, which he was holding in position, resulting in a finger crush injury on the right-hand ring and little finger when the vent stack was seated.
Do you look for possible pinch points before you start a task? Do you plan your actions and determine the necessary steps to work safely and avoid the line of fire? What measures do you take to ensure you are not distracted at work – many accidents occur you are not giving your full attention to the task? Do you engage in any work task when you place hands or fingers where you cannot see them. What precautions do you take to avoid this?
The worker was heavily focused on completing the task, not realizing his hand was in the line of fire. The correct method for re-aligning the bolts and base plate holes was not followed. Lack of the intervention by the crew.
