Narrative

Two employees were setting angle iron pieces against a rubber gasket on a concrete noise wall. The iron angle became stuck while the injured employee was pushing on the gasket. The second employee was lowering the iron while the injured employee was pushing on the gasket when the iron dropped two inches onto the concrete knee wall, crushing the injured employee's middle finger between the angle iron and the wall. The fingertip was amputated.
