BEN HUR CONSTRUCTION COMPANY

An employee was working out of a boom lift, erecting a steel beam. The employee released the rigging from the beam, and the rigging then became caught on a bolt on a lower connection point of the beam. As the rigging was being raised up by the crane, it came loose, and the employee s right hand became tangled with the wire rope choker. The employee sustained fractures to their right index and middle fingers, and required surgery.
