Narrative

An employee was on a man basket near the wellhead on an oil and gas rig. The employee was screwing an entry guide onto a blowout preventer while a crane was removing it from the wellhead. The lubricator/blowout preventer moved and caught his right middle and ring fingers between the entry guide and the cap on the frac head. The middle finger was amputated and the ring finger required surgical treatment.
