Narrative

On April 4, 2022, at 9:45 a.m., an employee and co-workers were hoisting a fire pump via chain falls through a handrail onboard a ship. The fire pump electrical box got caught on the handrail section and broke free under tension, catching the employee's left thumb between the fire pump and the handrail. The employee suffered a laceration that resulted in a fingertip amputation.
