Narrative

An employee was kneeling on the floor and raising a hoist with a roller, using the pendant to change a roller at the bottom of a press. The employee's left hand was on top of the hoist rail when he raised the hoist using a pendant, and his left pinky finger was pinched between the hoist rail and the machine's frame, amputating the fingertip.
