Narrative

Three employees were reorganizing a work area by staging material-handling tables. Two employees were pushing a table while the third employee guided it. The table became stuck on the wheel of another nearby table and while the two employees tried to push it free, the third employee moved the other table. The newly freed table moved forward into the other table, and the third employee's right middle finger was caught between the two. A third of the fingertip was amputated.
