Narrative

On June 4, 2019, at approximately 11:45 AM, an employee was judging the weight of a piece of metal (solid slag metal for centrifuge) by lifting it. The metal piece slipped and fell catching the employee's left index finger between the metal and the ground or pallet jack and caused a fingertip amputation.
