Narrative

Two employees were installing center bars, plates, and nuts on cased micropiles. As one employee was holding the center bar with a pipe wrench, the injured employee went to lift the plate. The wrench was released which caused the nut to catch and pull the plate down. The employee's right ring finger was caught between the plate and the casing; the first digit was amputated.
