Narrative

An employee was removing a 32.7-pound tank head from a storage basket when the tank head slipped from the employee's grasp and fell. The tank head pinched the employee's right middle fingertip against the edge of another piece of material, which was still inside the basket. The employee sustained a partial amputation of the fingertip (pad area - fingernail remained intact).
