Narrative

An employee was working at the shop running a 10-inch-long, 3-inch-wide piece of metal through a homemade roller machine. The employee was attempting to curve the piece of metal so that it would go on a wheel. While running the piece of metal through the roller, the employee's index finger was caught between the metal and the roller. The employee's right index fingertip was smashed and cut, resulting in a soft tissue amputation.
