Narrative

An employee was using a handheld pry bar to lift/remove a floor drain grate. The employee had the pry bar in the grate and was applying pressure to pop it out while reaching his right hand under the grate end to help lift it. The pry bar then slipped out and onto his right index finger, pinching it. He reacted by pulling his gloved hand out, which resulted in a right index fingertip amputation.
