At approximately 8:25 a.m. on May 23, 2017, Employee #1 was using a 10-ton hoist to lift a 250-pound sheet of 0.375 in. thick steel.

Employee #1 tried to grab the falling steel plate. The steel plate struck and amputated three fingers on her left hand. Employee #1 was transported to a medical center, where she received treatment on the multiple finger amputations and was then hospitalized.
