Narrative

An employee was using an overhead crane to change a large sideloader battery. While he was installing the charged battery, the load began to swing. As he was stopping it from swinging into the sideloader, his right middle finger was pinched between the sideloader wall and the battery. He suffered an open fracture to the last joint of the finger, resulting in an amputation.
