Narrative

An employee working at the magnetic particle inspection clamp in the track machine line activated a hydraulic clamp and pinched their right ring finger between the side edge of the product being clamped and the clamp wall. The pinching action trapped the employee's finger and removed the soft tissue portion of the ring finger pad under the fingernail, resulting in a partial amputation.
