Narrative

An employee was retrieving a 2-cell block from a pallet when his foot was caught in a loose strap attached to the pallet. He lost his balance and fell to the ground. The block then landed on his finger, pinning it between the block and the concrete, resulting in a partial amputation of his finger.
