On 12/18/15 at approximately 9:30am, two employees were offloading pre-cast concrete stairs off of a truck with a link belt crane at a new commercial construction project. As they unloaded the third piece, one of the employees was using both hands to guide the piece to the ground. The suspended stair came into contact with a stair on the ground. As the pieces came together, the employee's left middle finger was pinched between the concrete stairs. A partial fingertip amputation may have occurred.
