Narrative

An employee was rolling a piece of carbon steel pipe from a conveyor onto a storage rack. The pipe was 14 inches in diameter, approximately 65 inches long and weighed about 300 pounds. When the pipe shifted and began to fall between the supports of the storage rack, the employee attempted to regain control of the falling pipe. The employee s fingers were caught between the pipe and the storage rack resulting in lacerations to the middle and ring fingers of the employee s left hand.
