Employee's Fingertip Is Amputated by Clamp

On August 20, 2010, Employee #1, a metal worker, was installing wire cables. He was dropping a plumb-up cable while it was still in tension. He tried to release the tension by loosening the turn-buckle. He loosened the two cable clamps, first the top then the bottom, leaving his left hand resting on the top clamp. The cable jumped and the two clamps came together, pinching and amputating the tip of his left pinky finger. He was not hospitalized for his injury. .
