Narrative

An employee was performing maintenance on an overhead bunker door on a recycling system. The door has an electric hoist that moves up and down. When the employee went to remove the tin can that was blocking the door, the door slid down 2-3 inches with the employee's hand on the chain and hook. The employee sustained a right little finger amputation.
