Narrative

An employee was loading corrugated sheets into a box former from a 24" platform beside the equipment. As he was descending from the platform, he swung under the top rail to the floor and momentarily lost his balance. His right hand then entered the maintenance access opening on the backside of the box former, resulting in a partial digit amputation at the middle phalanx of the right index finger.
