Narrative

An employee was removing a 24" OD actuator valve that weighed 10,000 pounds from a structure on the fifth floor using a lattice crane. During the lift, the valve became hung up on the permanent handrail and their left thumb was caught between the valve and the handrail. The employee sustained a partial amputation of the thumb.
