Narrative

An employee was loading steel coil into the uncoiler using a hoist. Once it was on the uncoiler, the employee noticed it was not aligned and began manually aligning it. In the process of aligning it, the employee's middle finger was pinched between the coil and the unwinder's arm resulting in amputation to the first joint.
