Final narrative
An employee was using an overhead crane to move a 48-inch by 3-inch plate from a horizontal position to a vertical position. He had one hand on the controller and one on the clevis. When the employee let the clevis down to reposition it, his left index fingertip was pinched between the crane hook and the clevis, resulting in an amputation.
