Investigation Summary
At 10:30 a.m. on January 28, 2022, an employee rigged a 33-inch by 22-inch, 830 pound metal hook block onto a table to flip and remove bracing. The block shifted as it was being flipped and caused the chain to slack. The momentum of the weight caused the block to fall forward and pin the employee's hand between the brace and a piece of wood, resulting in a left index fingertip amputation. The employee was treated without hospitalization.
