Narrative

An employee was assembling boilers, which involved stacking the flat sections of boilers on top of one another and pushing them down a non-powered roller line. While the employee was pushing a stack onto the next set of rollers, the stack became crooked. The employee went to pull back the stack to straighten it when their finger was pinched by a roller. The employee sustained a partial amputation to their left ring fingertip.
