Narrative

Two large metal doors that swing inward/outward were being closed to perform high-pressure tests on the SB-BOP. The injured employee's left index finger's distal phalanx got pinched/stuck between the doors while closing them. The employee jerked the hand away and sustained an amputation (no bone removal) to the finger.
