Narrative

On June 29, 2021, an employee was unloading materials from a flat bed truck using an overhead crane and a nylon sling. While positioning the nylon sling to hoist a stack of 6"x12' aluminum round bars that was on top of 5"x12' rectangular flat bars, the round bars shifted, rolled back, and pinned the employee's left middle finger between a round bar and a flat bar, resulting in a fingertip amputation.
