Narrative

An employee was setting up the first piece of decking on a new overcast. As the crew set the side walls, the first piece of decking rotated and struck the employee. Their left little finger was pinched between the decking and floor. The employee was treated on site, taken to the local hospital, and the wound required stitches to close. The employee was released back to work.
