Narrative

An employee was going to weld on the casing of a drilling rig. The employee was sitting on/near the control panel with the right hand on the traveling chain and left hand near the controls. The employee's left hand bumped the controls, causing the traveling chain to move. The chain caught the employee's right hand, amputating three fingertips to the first knuckle.
