Narrative

On October 10, 2016, an employee installed an oil plug on a crowd gate lubricator. He was using a ladder to descend the crowd gate when the ladder moved. He lost his balance, started falling backward, and grabbed the machine's chain, which pulled his finger through the sprocket. The top portion of his left-hand index finger was amputated.
