## Narrative

An employee was moving a 6-inch diameter, 13 foot length pipe onto a pipe rack. The injured employee went to help this employee move the pipe and grabbed the end of the pipe with his hand. The pipe became too heavy and the employee dropped it. The pipe came down on the employee's hand, pinching his hand between the pipe and some angle iron resulting in a fingertip amputation.
