Employee guiding pipe into chimney amputates fingertip

At 4:23 p.m. on April 23, 2018, Employee #1, employed by a heating and plumbing company, was engaged in the renovation of a two-story building. He was working from an aerial lift and guiding a length of 4 PVC pipe being lifted by a crane into the chimney. After the rigging that held the pipe was removed, Employee #1 adjusted the pipe in the chimney. The pipe dropped approximately 4 additional feet, and riser clamps attached to the pipe dropped onto Employee #1's right index finger, crushing the finger and amputating the fingertip. Employee #1 received medical treatment at the hospital and was released.
