Narrative

Two employees were moving a piece of angle iron approximately 19 feet long. The injured employee picked up one end of the angle iron and the other employee pushed the opposite end causing the injured employee to drop the angle iron. His left middle finger was pinched between the angle iron and a joiner bulkhead coaming on the deck resulting in a fingertip amputation.
