Narrative

Two employees were changing a battery in an order picker. While one of them was using a magnetic battery-changing device, the other began to plug in the battery. The battery shifted and pinched the second employee's right ring finger against the order picker's compartment. The employee suffered an amputation and was hospitalized.
