Narrative

On February 17, 2018, an employee was injured while using a drill press. The drill press was set up with a paddle in lieu of a drill bit. While adjusting the speed of the press with his left hand, his right hand held a tachometer. With the paddle spinning, the shaft bent 90 degrees and contacted the employee's right ring finger, resulting in amputation.
