Narrative

On June 30, 2025, at about 8:45 p.m., an employee started a new coil on a draw machine. While operating the machine, a steel ring fell from the top of the coil and became tangled on the base of the payoff s coil upender. To untangle the ring, the employee grabbed the ring with both hands and their right hand was pinched between the ring and the base of the coil upender, resulting in a partial amputation of the right little fingertip and lacerations to the right middle finger.
