Narrative

An employee and a crew were unloading cap beams from a delivery truck and into a staging area. Some of the beams needed to be flipped in order to access the lifting knives. The beams were flipped using shake-out hooks. The crew was repositioning a flipped beam to line up with previously unloaded beams when the load shifted. The employee's left ring finger got caught between the rigging and flange of the beam, resulting in a partial fingertip amputation.
