Narrative

An employee was loading a reel onto the reel lift to prepare for running the hose through the production line. He placed a spacer onto the reel and was holding it in place when the reel lift activated and his finger got caught between the spacer and the machine, causing an open fracture of the fingertip and a partial amputation.
