Narrative

An employee was removing a stack of metal blank material from the blank stacker on the press. The riser that the blanks sit on had moved off the rollers while the blanks were stacking, therefore, the material would not roll freely. The employee attempted to move the blank material down by hand. The original stack fell striking his left ring finger resulting in a fingertip amputation.
