Narrative

Three employees were transferring a metal lid using a manual chain hoist to place it onto a cart. While they were adjusting its position, the lid shifted and the injured employee's left hand became caught between the hoist hook and the handle, resulting in a laceration and amputation of their ring fingertip including the tuft.
