Narrative

Employee was setting horizontal rebar (size 11) and to help maneuver it, grabbed the end of the rebar with right hand. When sliding the bar, right index finger was caught between the horizontal bar being placed and a previously placed vertical bar, causing a small fracture to the distal phalanx and a laceration, which required sutures.
