Narrative

On August 7, 2025, employees were using forklift forks to move a single-wheel slitter so they could inspect a broken leg on it. While they were sliding the slitter off the forks, it fell, trapping an employee s left ring finger against the concrete. The employee suffered a severe avulsion to the finger, which was then medically amputated at the knuckle.
