Investigation Summary
A POWER LINE WORKER FOR AN ELECTRIC UTILITY HAD USED THE BOOM ON HIS SERVICE TRUCK TO LOAD MATERIAL. WHEN HE STOWED THE BOOM, HE NOTICED THAT IT WAS STILL EXTENDED. WITH HIS LEFT HAND LEANING AGAINST THE BOOM, HE USED THE UPPER CONTROLS TO RETRACT IT. THE RETRACTING BOOM CRUSHED THE LITTLE AND RING FINGERS ON HIS LEFT HAND. THE EMPLOYEE WAS TAKEN TO ONE HOSPITAL AND THEN TRANSFERRED TO ANOTHER, WHERE HE WAS TREATED AND RELEASED ABOUT 8 HOURS LATER.
