Narrative

A temporary employee was cleaning up her work station at the end of her shift. She manually rotated the turntable platform of the spring-actuated pallet carousel skid positioner to bring a pair of pliers within reach. Her left middle fingertip became pinched between the tubular steel frame and the turntable platform resulting in amputation of the fingertip without bone loss.
