Narrative

An employee was unloading a concrete floor polisher from a vehicle using a lift gate. While trying to stop the polisher from slipping, the employee grabbed a bar that was a part of the machine's suspension system and it moved, pinching the employee's fingers and causing the amputation of the left index and middle fingertips above the first knuckle.
