Narrative

On January 2, 2018, an employee was operating a crane to move a scrap bin to a dock when the scrap bin struck some steel and began to rotate. As the employee attempted to stop the bin from rotating, the employee's pinky finger became caught between the scrap bin and a table machine, resulting in an amputation.
