Narrative

On September 23, 2021, an employee was assisting a co-worker with removing slings from a die when the crane holding the sling moved, causing the sling to swing toward the employee. The employee reached for the sling and his left thumb was caught between the sling and the die, resulting in a fingertip amputation.
