Final narrative
An employee was preparing to move two metal plates (turret arms) using a crane. He placed his left hand on one of the plates to steady it while operating the crane controls with his right hand. As he was maneuvering the crane, the two plates slid together and crushed his left thumb. The thumb was amputated at the interphalangeal joint and he was hospitalized.
