Narrative

An employee was helping to discharge fuel from a barge by positioning a C-hook on a coil. After he slid the C-hook into the coil, his hand rested on the bottom of the C-hook. When a crane began to lift the hook, the coil and his fingers became caught, crushing his left-hand pinky, ring, and middle fingers.
