Narrative

An employee was making a grease head connection. He pulled on the sling connected by a crane to balance the grease head. He was stabilizing the 5-1/2 lubricator with his left hand when the lubricator joint slipped into a tight space causing the 4-3/4 grease head to crush his left index finger against the lubricator. The employee's left index fingertip was amputated.
