The employee went to use a strap to position the I-beam on the chamber by pulling the I-beam toward him and getting  it into position. The injured employee was in the lift with his hand on the I-beam, and when the I-beam moved, his hand was caught between the I-beam and the scissor lift. The employee sustained an amputation of their left ring fingertip.
