Narrative

An employee was using an overhead crane to lift a 6-inch OD piece of round stock weighing approximately 617 pounds. He reached underneath the load to place a 1-foot block of wood when the load shifted and released from the rigging, landing on his hand. His left index finger was partially amputated to the knuckle.
