Narrative

An employee was feeding boards into a sander when two boards overlapped. As he attempted to reposition them, his right middle finger became pinched between the two boards. When he pulled his finger out from between the two boards, the skin and tissue on his middle finger were removed. Part of his finger had to be surgically amputated.
