Abstract: At 8:34 p.m. on November 5, 2020, Employee #1, employed by a general contracting company specializing in waterproofing, was working at the top of the south exterior wall preparing to set up a 40-foot long suspended power platform. While attempting to straighten out a kink in the cable, the kink suddenly straightened itself, pinching the employee's right hand. The middle, ring, and pinky fingers were caught in the pinch, resulting in the amputation of the tip of the pinky finger. The middle and ring fingers were re-attached, but the first digit of the pinky could not be found. The employee was hospitalized for seven days for treatment.
