Narrative

On August 22, 2024, an employee was operating a jib crane with a magnet attached and maneuvered it to pick up a 250-pound piece of plasma-cut steel. While moving the jib, the magnet caught another piece of steel and the employee's left index finger was crushed between the pieces of steel. The employee sustained a partial amputation to the finger with bone loss.
