Narrative

An employee was placing a chuck and strand into a stressing jack arm. The chuck and strand fell into the ram. The employee grabbed the chuck and tried to reposition it. At the same time, another employee was moving the ram down and the injured employee's right little pinky and ring fingers were pinched between the chuck and stressing ram. As a result, the employee's right pinky fingertip was amputated and right ring finger was cut.
