Narrative

On September 26, 2018, an employee was using a hardware insertion machine to repair a bent metal panel. The employee was holding some scrap metal (being used to help flatten the panel) when the machine's downward-acting plunger engaged with the panel. The employee's right second finger was pinched, resulting in a fingertip amputation.
