Narrative

Two employees were unloading an auger from a delivery truck. The injured employee was supporting the auger while the other employee used equipment to grab it. The auger suddenly twisted, and its sharp tip struck the first employee's left ring finger. The fingertip was amputated and the middle of the finger was broken. The employee was hospitalized.
