Narrative

An employee was working with a co-worker on a brake press bending stainless steel when he noticed one piece had not bent at a 90-degree angle. He went to hit it again at a small place in the middle, and when doing so, the machine crushed his fingers. The employee suffered a ring fingertip amputation and amputation of his middle finger.
