Incident date: 2025-03-25
NAICS industry code: 238190

The injured employee was team lifting a steel tube from an A-frame dolly using the shoulder-to shoulder method with another employee. They lifted one end of the tube so the A-frame could be wheeled out of the way by a third employee. Once the dolly was clear, they lowered the tube down on top of another tube. After setting the tube down, it slipped off the lower tube and fell. The moving tube pulled the injured employee's glove and his left middle fingertip was caught between the two tubes. The employee sustained an avulsion to their finger.
