Carpenter's thumb pinched, fractured in guardrail support

At about 7:00 a.m. on January 21, 2004, Employee #1, a carpenter with Lucas & Mercier, a framing contractor building new, single-family homes, was working at a construction jobsite in Carlsbad, CA, removing wooden guardrails that were previously installed for fall protection. As he was pulling a 2-ft by 4-ft piece of lumber from the upright, his right thumb got pinched in the support and he sustained a fracture. There were no power tools or other guarding issues involved in this process. Employee #1 was hospitalized.
