Narrative

On 11/21/2016, an employee and his supervisor were washing a vehicle together on a track. When the supervisor turned on the track to begin moving the vehicle, the employee was still washing the rim. As soon as the rollers popped up, the moving wheel of the car lacerated the employee's right-hand finger and amputated it at the first joint. PPE was not worn at the time of the incident.
