Final narrative
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.

A crew was installing drilled micropiles alongside an outdoor covered deck foundation.

The employee's left little finger was caught between the rig wrench and the embedded casing and was amputated above the top knuckle.
An employee was standing on an extension ladder, using a torquing tool to remove bolts that secured blades to a rotor. When the torquing tool activated, its reaction arm came around and pinched the employee's right middle finger against a lifting eye. His fingertip was amputated.

An employee was operating a roller and paving a small pathway next to a pavilion. The ground was on a slight pitch, causing him to reach up toward the roll cage to stabilize himself.
