Final narrative
Two employees were lifting and installing the lance tube into place using a combination of chain falls and manual manipulation. While moving the lance tube into place, the employee on one end lost their grip on the tube and it fell to the grating. Since the lance tube was also suspended from a chain fall, the other end went up and caught the injured employee's right hand between the lance tube and an I-beam. The injured employee suffered lacerations across the top of their little, ring and middle fingers, and fractures to their little and ring fingers. The employee was hospitalized.
