Abstract: On May 7th 2010, Employee #1 was working as a helper for Employee #2, a crane operator. The crane was a Grove, 75 ton, mobile crane, with a hydraulic boom and lattice type jib. Employee #2 had completed the lift of setting a boulder memorial plaque and was in the process of placing the jib back into the cradle. Employee #1 was standing on the superstructure of the crane and was guiding the jib into the stow brackets, when his right hand was caught between the jib and the bracket. Employee #2 backed the boom out and released the jib, allowing Employee #1 to free his hand. Employee #1 suffered severe avulsion to his right hand and was treated at Frederick Memorial Hospital, where he underwent surgery and was released the same day.
