Abstract: At 9:45 a.m. on October 18, 2019, an employee working as a Machine Operator for a saw mill was placing a tee bar on a sorter bin while the machine was under lockout. As the employee lifted the tee bar to rehang it on the catch ears, she lost her grip on the bar allowing it to slide downward into the lower pocket. The employee had her left hand near the top of the pocket and the sliding bar struck her middle finger pinching it between the tee bar and the lower pocket top. The resulting impact crushed her fingertip. The employee was hospitalized and the fingertip had to be surgically amputated to remove some bone and close the wound.
