Narrative

An employee was standing next to a roller bed waiting for the next joist to come down. He reached to stop the joist and pull it over to him so he could tack the two ends. When he grabbed the end bar, it fell between two pieces of angle. The employee's left pinky finger was pinched between the two angles resulting in a partial amputation to the fingertip.
