Employee Suffers Fractured Hand When Crushed by I-Beam

At approximately 1:30 p.m. on May 25, 2005, Employee #1, a laborer, was starting his first day of employment and was cleaning up in a confined area with one other employee. Employee #1 picked up a "14-by-48," a small piece of metal I-beam approximately 2-ft by 1-ft in size. Employee #1 swung the I-beam to obtain momentum to place the item on a ledge, and smashed his hand between the I-beam and another object. Employee #1 was wearing gloves at the time of the injury. Employee #1 suffered ruptured vasculature and scarring on the middle finger, and two other broken fingers, one of which required pin insertion. Employee #1 was hospitalized for two days.
