Investigation Summary
At 8:15 a.m. on February 20, 2020, an employee working as a crane operator for a tube and piping manufacturer was moving a load of 45-foot-long metal tubes with an overhead crane. The load shifted and swung out of direction at which time the employee used his hand to try and redirect the load. This caused the employee to pinch his hand between the load and a stationary stacked load. The employee amputated his left ring finger and required medical treatment without hospitalization.
