## Narrative

On February 24, 2021, an employee was helping install a 250-pound metal pallet on a precast concrete form. The pallet became bound on the inner core of the form while an overhead crane was lowering it into place. The employee began moving dunnage below while the crane held the pallet about 12 inches above the ground. The pallet fell onto the employee's right ring and middle fingers, catching them against the dunnage and causing partial amputations to both fingers.
