Narrative

An employee was preparing to raise a steel frame using an overhead crane and chain sling. The tip of the crane hook was being used to raise the frame. After the frame was raised 6-12 inches from the floor, the employee went to position the chain and the frame fell onto his left hand. He sustained amputations to the middle, ring, and pinky fingers and was hospitalized.
