Narrative

An employee was using a 3-foot pry bar to lift a 3/8-inch piece of sheet of metal to remove the 3/4-inch wooden support blocks from underneath. The 3-foot pry bar slipped while the employee was removing the 3/4-inch wooden block, allowing the sheet metal to drop onto and amputate the employee's left index fingertip.
