Narrative

An employee was observing contractors lower a 44-by-88-by- 1/4-inch housing lid using chain fall hoist rigging. The lid came to rest on the guides and was not fitting into place. The employee was pointing and his finger was caught between the lid and housing when the guard was pushed into place. The employee's right index fingertip was amputated.
