Narrative

Two employees were trying to retrieve a section of channel on the bottom of a stack of four. One placed a hook into the third piece of the stack and lifted the sections up while the other placed a block under the lifted sections. This second employee's left hand was still sitting on the block when the three sections of channel slipped off the hook and crushed the employee's fingers.
