Final narrative
On April 2, 2019, an employee was holding onto a hoist chain with one hand and placed the other hand above the hoist block. As the employee pushed the load away from the handrail, the employee's glove pulled the employee's right hand into the hoist block, pinching the fifth digit between the chain guide and hoist chain. As a result, the employee suffered a right pinky finger distal phalanx fracture and soft tissue avulsion, requiring hospitalization and surgery.
