Narrative

An employee removed a semi-refrigeration unit from the semi-trailer to repair it. After repair, the employee was putting it back on the semi-trailer, but the bolts did not line up. As the employee tried to adjust the bolts, his left index finger was caught between the refrigeration unit and the semi-trailer resulting in amputation of his nail and a quarter inch of his finger.
