Incident review: Crush injury to foot

A mobile hydraulic crane was setting up for a lift. A young worker was laying out flagging tape to delineate the work area. It appears that the worker was short of tape and started to tie the tape end to a pipe stake on the carry deck of the crane. As the crane operator was setting down the outriggers on wooden outrigger pads, the worker’s foot became trapped between the left rear outrigger plate and the outrigger pad.
