Narrative

An employee was assisting a bridge crane to lower a section of a 10-foot mold onto another section of mold. When lowered, the molds did not align. Upon checking for an obstruction that was causing the misalignment, the mold slid onto the employee's fingers. The employee sustained a crush injury and amputation of the middle, ring, and little fingertips.
