Final narrative
An employee was helping to set concrete traffic barriers by guiding a barrier clamp weighing approximately 600 pounds that was connected to an excavator. The employee guided the clamp down on top of the barrier successfully, which then disengaged the locking pin and allowed the clamp to scissor and grab the barrier to raise it again. As the excavator operator hoisted the barrier clamp to move the segment of barrier, the employee's left ring fingertip got caught in the scissor area of the barrier clamp, resulting in a transphalangeal fingertip amputation.
