Narrative

An employee was moving a metal skid onto a skid flipper and the skid was not lined up with the center of the clamps. The employee went to move it into position with a rigging bar when the skid was pushed from the back. The employee's right index finger was caught between the skid and the clamp of the skid flipper and was partially amputated.
