Narrative

At 7:15 AM, an employee was operating a refiner and was on the operation control end with his hand on the quick-release lever. The lever was in the up position when the quick release became disengaged and the lever came down on the employee's hand with force. The lever amputated his left thumb just above the second knuckle. He was hospitalized.
