Narrative

An employee was performing manufacturing tasks when the product collapsed inside of the steel tube of a mandrel. The employee then began removing the defective product. While the employee manually rotated the mandrel, their left middle finger was pinched between the mandrel and the positioning saddle on the underside of the mandrel, resulting in a fingertip amputation.
