Narrative

An employee was positioning a lifting magnet (weighing approximately 500 lbs.) onto a piece of steel to move the steel to another location. The magnet slipped off the steel and the magnet's safety bar caught the employee's fingers against the steel amputating his left middle fingertip and crushing the left ring finger.
