## Narrative

An employee was attempting to line up two I-beams measuring 7 to 8 feet to get them ready to be moved by a forklift. As he slid the top I-beam over the other, the back end of the I-beam slipped, causing the front of the beam to contact the employee's left ring finger and cut the fingertip, resulting in an amputation.
