## Narrative

Employees were attempting to lift and move a cellar cover in order to install a work platform in the cellar for a welder. The cover came into contact with the blowout preventer spool, causing it to fall back. An employee's right middle finger was caught between the cellar cover and the tin horn, causing an amputation to the first knuckle.
