Narrative

An employee was offloading a 55-gallon steel trash can drum into a larger 30-yard roll-off trash container. He was rolling the drum inside the container, on its edge, when it shifted quickly and pinched his right thumb against the container, causing a deep laceration. He was hospitalized for surgery to repair a tendon and nerve in the tip of his thumb.
