Abstract: At 10:00 a.m. on August 31, 2020, an employee was working for a firm that manufactured automotive seating and interior trim. He was a crane operator. He was moving a tool with a Wolverine 10-ton to 15-ton (89-kilonewton to 133.5-kilonewton) overhead crane. The employee pressed an incorrect button on the control, which was perhaps a pendant. He attempted to overcorrect by pressing the opposite button. The tool began swinging. When the employee tried to stop the tool from swinging, he was struck by the tool and pinched between the tool and a work bench. He suffered bruises to his chest. He was hospitalized.
