Narrative

Empire Employee was attempting to re-position a lifting strap. The Employee believed that the weight had been relieved from the strap and began to attempt to move the strap. The employee did not know that the strap was in a bind on a flange on the pipe causing the strap to pinch a finger, causing a laceration that required 5 stitches to treat.
