Narrative

An employee was loading a fully assembled sheet metal coil rack into a parts cart. The coil rack was placed on the edge and was started into the cart. As the employee began to slide the product into the cart, the rack slipped off of the table. The top portion of the rack that the employee was holding came in contact with the table. This created a pinch point where the employee's right pinky finger was caught between the coil rack and table, resulting in a partial amputation of the distal phalanx on the pinky finger (right hand).
