## Narrative

Crane was lifting a 60ft section of truss conveyor with two spreader bars equally spaced for balance.  C-clamps were attached to spreader to prevent movement of truss.  One clamp slipped allowing the conveyor to shift slightly.  The employee was in a manlift basket to help guide the conveyor.  The shift in the conveyor struck his left hand which was on the safety rail.
