EE was inspecting block grease at 2nd pier of kiln #5. He slid the lid that covers the block grease area up near the kiln trunion tire. He rested his left hand in the lid area. The lid came in contact with the trunion tire, pushing the lid onto the finger of his left hand. Left pinky finger was amputated off at the end knuckle and ring finger also severed (but no bone loss).
