Narrative

An employee was opening the stuck lid of an outdoor dumpster. Another employee adjusted the dumpster to get it away from another bin so the employee could open the lid. The employee's left hand was on a yellow pylon when her little finger got caught between the dumpster being adjusted and the pylon, resulting in the surgical amputation of one-third of the finger.
