Narrative

An employee was pushing a baler door that weighed about 500 pounds closed. A pair of wire cutters fell between the door and the baler wall. The employee was retrieving the wire cutters when the door closed, crushing the employee's right index finger against the baler wall and causing a partial amputation to the finger.
