Narrative

An employee was sanding a foundation fixture weighing approximately 400 pounds. The employee was working to rotate the fixture 90 degrees toward the ground in order to access the underlying edges. As he was maneuvering the foundation downward, it tipped over and a protruding appendage of the foundation pinned his pinky finger to the floor. The employee's finger was surgically amputated.
