Narrative

A crew was in the process of putting a sub-spreader beam in place so that they could raise the rig floor. An employee's hand was resting on the spreader beam when the derrick hand pulled the beam from its stowed position. The employee's small finger was then caught between the spreader beam and the sub leg, amputating his fingertip.
