Narrative

An employee was using a crane to lower a 3-inch plate onto support boards. He was down on one knee while positioning the plate and operating the crane when he lost his balance and slipped. As he put his hand out to brace the fall, it was caught between the motor plate and a pallet. His left middle and ring fingertips were amputated.
