Two employees were rotating a machine component (a heavy, steel machine part roughly in the shape of a rectangular bar) so it could be reinstalled. As they used a die cart lift to move the part from blocks to the machine table surface, the part continued to turn quickly; a protruding bolt caught the tip of one employee's left index finger against the steel work surface. About 4-5 millimeters of the finger were amputated. | |||||
