Narrative

An employee was switching out an empty storage rack with a full storage rack that she had towed to the production line. The employee began closing the shelves on the empty rack, lowering each shelf, one at a time, starting with the bottom and working her way up. As the employee lowered the third shelf from the top, the second shelf dropped and closed on her right index finger. The fingertip was amputated.
