Narrative

On August 13, 2015, an employee was operating an overhead crane to move a steel beam that was approximately 4' by 15' and weighed 4,000 pounds. The beam was sitting in the I position and the employee was using beam clamps to move the beam to horses. The employee's right middle finger got caught between the beam clamp and the beam flange. The top portion of the employee's finger was sheared and had to be surgically amputated.
