Abstract: At 5:30 a.m. on November 19, 2019, an employee was operating a HSI 1/4 Ton Crane replacing an empty shrink wrap roll. Once the employee had placed the bar with the shrink wrap roll onto the rails, the synthetic web sling became caught between the bar and the rail. The employee attempted to pull the sling out from under the bar when the bar rolled back and pinched his left middle finger between the bar and rail. The employee amputated his finger and required medical treatment without hospitalization.
