Narrative

An employee was setting a rebar wall panel. After cutting the panel loose, the crane started to ascend. The employee held the crane choker to keep it from getting hung up on anything as it ascended. During this time, he got his finger pinched between the choker and the rebar. He was hospitalized with a potential broken finger on his left hand.
