Narrative

An employee was helping to push a welding trailer out of the path of a truck. The trailer then rolled over a half-inch elevation change that rocked the trailer toward an electrical box. The employee's finger was pinched between the welding trailer and electrical box, resulting in a finger amputation approximately 1/2-inch from the end.
