March 15, 2016CO · Metal/Non-Metalfront-end loader, scraper-loader operator, pan operator, payloader, scraper rig operatorHANDTOOLS (NONPOWERED)
Employee was repairing the lower step on front end loader. EE was using a utility knife to cut a section of conveyor belting to the proper size for repair. During the process of cutting the employee was using the utility knife in a drawing motion towards body. The knife slipped in the cutting process and in doing so created a puncture wound to the right thigh of the employee.
The levers surrounding the shut off lever on the oxygen tank kept hitting the right thumb nail, seperating the nail from the bed a bit, leading to an infection from the dirt and grease. We are looking into extensions for the shut off lever.
EE was @ the pit cleaning up the loading dock which had old lumber he was placeing the old lumber in the loader bucket and when he placed another piece the one he had just place jabbed the palm of his right hand with a rusty nail he not see.
