Narrative

Three employees were installing a transfer rail in a press. There were two employees holding the rail and the injured employee was at the end of the rail guiding the rail into the bracket. The task was done manually with no mechanical equipment. The employee had their finger at the end of the rail and went to make sure the rail was lined up while the other two employees pushed it into the bracket, causing their finger to become pinched between the rail and bracket. The employee's middle fingertip was amputated. Protective gloves were worn at the time of the incident.
