Narrative

An employee was staging a part on a coordinate measuring machine. The employee put the part onto the fixture. A hole in the casting into which the fixture pin is placed was not big enough. The employee placed the part on its side to deburr the hole out. The employee was repositioning the part onto the fixture when it slipped and crushed his finger between the part and the fixture, amputating his fingertip. The part weighed about 56 pounds.
