Narrative

An employee was holding a stake for concrete molding while a co-worker was driving the stake with a 10-pound hammer. The employee thought the co-worker was finished and grabbed the top of the stake to assist himself up from a kneeling/bending position when the hammer struck the end of the employee's right-hand pinky finger, resulting in a fingertip amputation.
