Employee #1 went to assist Coworker #1 by moving a steel post on the flatbed to allow for the removal of a suspended k-rail. The k-rail moved towards the post, and Employee #1's finger was caught and crushed between the post and the k-rail. Employee #1 was transported to the hospital, where his finger was treated and he was released without hospitalization.
