Narrative

An employee was operating a soil boring tool and lifting it out of a 36-inch deep trench. As he was preparing to place the tool on the ground, he lost his grip on it. The tool dropped to the ground, and his left middle finger was caught between the falling tool and the concrete sidewalk, amputating his fingertip.
