Narrative

An employee was preparing to buff the inside of a flange. He set the buffer down inside the tower while the section was being rotated. He noticed that the buffer cord was going to be pinched between the tower section and a stop, so he attempted to grab the cord. The tower section then amputated his right little finger at the first knuckle.
