Narrative

An employee was conducting startup on a machine. They were using a manual pallet jack to bring the machine level with a conveyor belt so the wheels of the machine could be adjusted. The machine slipped off the pallet jack and caught the employee's left little finger against the floor. The finger was partially amputated.
