Narrative

A crew was aligning a pad-mounted transformer with two 3-inch rigid metal conduits that protruded through the pad. The transformer needed slight repositioning, and an employee stepped in to help guide the adjustment. The transformer base shifted, and a finger on the employee s right hand was caught between the cabinet base and the conduit top. The fingertip was amputated at the distal knuckle.
