Narrative

An employee was slacking off with the top drive and blocks so the elevators could be latched to a drill collar on the hydraulic catwalk. The employee went to grab the horns of the elevators to help maneuver them around the pipe. His left middle fingertip was crushed between the elevators and lift sub on the drill collar resulting in an amputation.
