Narrative

An employee was working on a pallet nailing machine. A co-worker was on the other side of the machine placing a pre-nailed pallet mat onto the partially built pallet. The injured employee's left index finger was pinched between the mat and the stationary side rail of the nailing machine resulting in amputation at the first joint from the fingertip.
