Narrative

The employee was cutting small pieces of steel in the metal shear. He was using a piece of metal to push the pieces into place. Rams, which hold the metal flat just before the cut, came down forcing the metal he was holding to crush the tip of his finger between the metal and the table surface of the shear. The tip of his left middle finger was lost due to tissue damage.
