Narrative

An employee was unloading the paint line. Metal panel 1 was on a cart. Metal panel 2 was being lowered to release the hooks between the panels. The hooks twisted, became locked, and did not release, pushing panel 2 up and off the paint line hook. Panel 2 fell approximately 5 inches, amputating the employee's right-hand pinky fingertip.
