Narrative

On October 16, 2024, an employee was installing a 2-inch by 6-inch pin in the eyelets of a large machinery door's cylinder and hinge. He was using a pry bar to raise the cylinder into position and confirming the alignment of the eyelet holes with his left index and middle fingers. The pry bar shifted, which caused the cylinder to drop onto his fingers. The employee's left index fingertip was amputated.
