2015 - Lateral Learning #19 - LTI#16 - chain binder eye injury
Two contractors were securing a large tyre in a cargo truck using a lever chain binder and a cheater bar, when the cheater bar came off the lever. The tension in the lever binder was released and the lever flew up striking one of the contractors in the face damaging his eye.
Wherever possible, use ratchet chain binders instead of lever chain binders. Avoid cheater bars when using lever chain binders. If you must use a lever chain binder and a cheater bar, only one person should use it, ensure you are properly trained and stay out of the line of fire.
Avoid using cheater bars with lever chain binders
