Narrative

An employee was assisting a shipper with preparing a workstation crane and its components for shipment. The crane measured 390 inches long and 12 inches high. The employee was helping the shipper manually turn a bridge on skids from a vertical position to a horizontal position when the bridge struck the tip of their left middle finger, pinching it between the skid and the bridge. The employee suffered a fingertip amputation without bone loss.
