Narrative

A Hirsh Industries employee was unloading drawer wraps from a roll form. While removing one drawer wrap, a second drawer wrap was released by the roll form and collided with the one being removed by the employee. This caused the employee's finger to be pinched between the first drawer wrap and a closed gate. The employee's right pinky fingertip was amputated between the fingernail and first knuckle.
