Incident Narrative
On June 27, 2025, around 2:00 a.m., a Charter Steel mechanical maintenance technician was changing the northeast wheel on the east outside billet yard crane.

The lifting device failed, causing the crane to fall and crush the employee s left-hand fingers against the crane wheel. This resulted in partial amputation of the middle and ring fingertips (through the nail with no bone loss) and a laceration with tendon involvement to the index finger.
