Narrative

An employee was using a corded high-torque electric drill to mix waterproofing materials. As he tried to remove the mixer from the bucket, the mixing paddle shaft caught the glove on his left hand. The glove was wrapped around the shaft as the drill spun, resulting in the amputation of his left index finger.
