Narrative

An employee was attempting to remove a drive gear from beneath equipment. The employee was operating a pneumatic drill with his left hand while bracing himself with his right hand on the drive gear. The torque of the drill caused the gear to shift and catch the distal phalange of his right pinky finger, resulting in a partial amputation.
