Narrative

Employees were attempting to install a 8""X8""X1"" steel diagonal brace. The upper end of the brace slipped off the connection clip on the support column and struck the right hand of Employee #1 pinching it between the diagonal brace and the inside of the support column. Physicians at UMC-Tucson made the decision to amputate the right pinky finger.
