Narrative

An employee was helping to lift a pallet of glass bottles that were stacked on top of each other in approximately 11 layers. The employee assisted with splitting the layers in half when the pressure on the pallets caused one of the bottles to break. The employee suffered a laceration on his right ring finger that resulted in a fingertip amputation.
