Narrative

On November 1, 2017, at approximately 10:00 a.m., an employee was helping to move a 30-gallon drum from a broken pallet to another pallet. His gloved hand was underneath the drum as he was transferring it. When it rolled onto the new pallet, his finger was pinched between the bottom of the drum and the pallet. His right index fingertip was amputated.
