Employee amputates two fingertips in rolling hex bar stock

At 12:00 p.m. on May 21, 2021, an employee working for a manufacturer was using an overhead jib crane. The employee was guiding the 1-3/8-inch hex bar stock in a bundle by hand toward a rack for storage. The employee had his right hand in the batch of the hex bar material when it shifted and rolled. As a result, the employee caught his middle and ring fingers between the bars. The employee received medical treatment without hospitalization for amputated middle and ring fingertips.
