Narrative

An employee was fabricating a braided rubber hose. They pulled on a reel to get more material. When the reel moved, it turned on a groove in the concrete floor and impacted a tray. The employee's right hand was then pinned between the reel and the edge of the metal tape dispenser on the tray, resulting in a partial amputation of the middle finger.
