Narrative

An employee was using a pneumatic chipping gun to chop concrete from a horizontal reinforced steel beam. The chipping gun had become lodged in the concrete and their left index finger was pinched between the pneumatic chipping gun and the existing steel beam, resulting in an amputation just below the nail region and above the top knuckle.
