Narrative

An employee was putting a cylinder in a deck when the cylinder would not set into the deck properly due to a misaligned bearing. He used a pry bar to raise the cylinder and realign the bearing. He was attempting to align the bearing cap when the pry bar slipped and the cylinder fell, causing the cylinder bearing cap to close on his left index finger. He suffered a left index finger partial distal phalanx amputation.
