Abstract: At 9:00 a.m. on June 3, 2019, Employee #1, employed by a bridge and highway construction company, was working at a bridge construction project that involved use of a crane. He and coworkers added a section of boom to the crane. As the employee was pulling the pin on the gantry, he had his thumb on the inside of the rim of the pin. The weight of the cables moved the boom slightly and pinched his thumb in the hole. The end of the thumb was amputated. The employee received medical treatment for the partial amputation but was not hospitalized.
