Incident Narrative

An employee was loading a fully assembled sheet metal coil rack into a parts cart. The coil rack was placed on the edge and was started into the cart.

This created a pinch point where the employee's right pinky finger was caught between the coil rack and table, resulting in a partial amputation of the distal phalanx on the pinky finger (right hand).
