Narrative

Employees were installing a hydraulic cylinder on a compactor. The injured employee completed rigging of the hydraulic cylinder and directed another employee to move the cylinder into place. At the same time, a third employee was preparing the cylinder pin for installation. The injured employee went to align the pin on the cylinder. The hydraulic cylinder shifted and pinched his left index finger between the cylinder and the compactor, resulting in amputation of the fingertip.
