Narrative

An employee was helping building maintenance install a new dock plate. While the employee was installing the dock plate by hand, the dock plate shifted and caught the employee's gloved hand, pinching it between the new dock plate and the concrete dock. As a result, the employee's right thumb tip was amputated.
