Narrative

An employee was climbing onto the outfeed roll case of a band mill. His left hand was on a 4-inch square tubing support beam as he stepped onto a bottom rail of the handrail. The handrail was attached to a set of steps, which tilted up. His left ring finger was smashed between the handrail and the square tubing. His fingertip was amputated.
