Investigation Summary
On March 30, 2010, Employee #1 and a coworker were in the process of cleaning up the area after a concrete slab was broken up. They were picking up concrete pieces with their hands and putting them into the bucket of a bobcat excavator in order to dump the concrete pieces into a dumpster bin. As Employee #1 was picking up a piece of concrete next to the bucket, the coworker dropped another piece in the bucket, which bounced off and fell onto Employee #1's left hand, crushing his fingertip between the two concrete pieces. Employee #1 suffered a crushing injury to his left index fingertip. Surgery was performed to repair the damage and it resulted in loss of about 0.5 inches of his fingertip. He spent about 11 hours in the hospital and was released on the same day of the accident. The employer reported it to DOSH on March 30, 2010. The employer was engaged in demolition and remodeling operations for commercial buildings.
