Employee's finger amputated by crane hook

At approximately 1:20 p.m. on March 22, 1999, Employee #1, an experienced carpenter, was disengaging a load from a sling hook when he signaled for the crane hook to be lowered. The hook began to descend rapidly and Employee #1's gloved finger became caught in the hook latch mechanism. As he attempted to pull himself free from the descending hook, the last digit on his right middle finger was amputated. Employee #1 had not stood clear of the descending hook, and the hook had been lowered too fast by the crane operator.
