An employee was walking through a job site, along a crane mat running along muddy ground, picking up sections of 4-by-6 dunnage. He slipped as he stepped off the mat, and the two 4-by-6 lumber sections he was carrying crushed the tip of his right little finger as they fell to the ground. The fingertip was amputated just below the nail bed.
