Narrative

An employee was removing a transfer bolt from a 14-inch casting table using his left hand. As he unscrewed the bolt, the platen under the table was lowered. It pulled the screw down through the table top port, smashing the employee's left index and middle fingers between the bolt washer and the table. The index fingertip was amputated and the middle finger was crushed.
