## Narrative

On November 22, 2016, at approximately 8:00 a.m., an employee was using a floor-operated overhead crane to lift a gear unit. The fine thread eye bolts that secured the load to the chain sling became stripped and allowed the load to fall onto the employee, causing a fracture and nerve/artery damage.
