Narrative

An employee had lowered the bed of a double-headed planer machine and was about to clean it. He was trying to remove a piece of wood from the machine bed when the blade of the planer kicked the wood out. It struck the employee on the right index finger, causing lacerations to the fingernail and finger, as well as a fracture and partial amputation to the fingertip.
