What happened
Employee noticed a catwalk support post not attached and leaning. He decided to try and remove the post before it fell and hit someone. When attempting to take it down he put some weight into it while he pushed and it broke free causing him to smash his fingers between the post and a concrete pillar next to it. When his fingers were smashed his natural reaction to pull his hand back contributed to the injury – causing the fingernails on the middle and ring fingers of his right hand to ‘catch’ and be pulled down.
