Narrative

On November 8, 2017, an employee was starting to lift a steel I-beam that was wrapped with a steel chain and hooked onto a crane. The employee was holding the pendant and pressed the "Up" button on the crane. As he started to lift the I-beam, his left ring finger was caught and partially amputated between the steel chain and the hook.
