Narrative

On January 8, 2025, two employees (one of them a temporary employee) were using a floor crane with a magnet to move steel beams from a platform to a container. A beam fell from the magnet and crushed two fingers on the temporary employee's right hand. He sustained a crushing injury to his right ring finger and an amputation to his right middle finger.
