Abstract: At approximately 9:00 a.m. on June 26, 2017, an employee was securing a roll of concrete wire to a manual holding device used to hold the roll of wire in position to allow wire to be pulled by production. The employee was inserting 3 inch OD by 9 feet 06 inch metal pipe inside a left support bracket used to position one side of a roll of concrete wire. The pipe end that the employee was holding was resting along a guardrail to help align and hold the weight of the pipe as it was being inserted into the left bracket. The bracket where the 3 inch pipe was being inserted fell as the employee was holding the end of the 3 inch pipe. The gravity of the pipe and bracket falling forced the employees left pinky finger to be struck by the 3 inch pipe against the guardrail resulting in amputation of the left end of pinky finger. The employee was hospitalized and treated for his injuries.
