The catwalk had been raised 2 to 3 inches, and Employee #1 was signaling under the catwalk, indicating where a block should go, when his right ring finger was amputated. Emergency services were called, and Employee #1 was transported to the hospital. He was admitted and treated for the finger amputation.
