Narrative

On 2/5/16 at approximately 9:00 a.m., an employee was loading four-inch black pipe onto a truck rack. The employee was securing the pipe into straps and a pipe rolled back onto his hands. The employee was wearing leather work gloves. The pipe crushed his right middle finger on his right hand resulting in a hairline fracture and laceration requiring sutures. The employee was later hospitalized for treatment of an infection.
