Employees were dry-fitting drainage grates and frames to verify measurements were accurate. A piece of lumber under the edge of one of the grate frames was interfering with measurements. Two employees lifted the frame so another employee could remove the lumber. The frame then dropped on the third employee's right hand, breaking and lacerating the ring finger. The employee was hospitalized, requiring surgery.
