Narrative

An employee was removing a small section of existing vertical steel attached to an overhead doorway. After almost cutting the steel all the way through with a power tool, the employee began to manually move it with his hand. When the steel came loose, it fell and caught his left index finger between the falling piece of steel and another piece of steel below, resulting in a fingertip amputation.
