Narrative

At about 11:00 a.m. on February 21, 2019, an employee was retrieving a steel channel beam from a stack. The employee pried two steel channel beams apart with a 12-inch pry bar to attach a lifting device. One beam slid off the other, and the employee's right ring fingertip was pinched between the beams and was amputated.
