Final narrative
An employee was lifting a fan part with a jib crane to take it from vertical to horizontal. The part, a large hollow steel cylinder with a flange on each end, was attached with lifting lugs and two lifting straps on either side of it in and upside-down V coming down from the crane hook. As the part was rotated, the employee's right hand was caught between the flange and a lifting strap and two right-hand fingers were crushed. The employee suffered an amputation to the ring fingertip, as well as a laceration/crush injury to the middle finger.
