Abstract: At 4:30 a.m. on October 23, 2019, an employee put some grease on a piece of cardboard that he was going to use to lubricate the concrete truck drum roller with. The drum was rotating in the opposite direction of what the employee thought which created an in-running nip point where the drum and roller met. The cardboard got caught in the drum roller and pulled the employee's right index finger into the roller nip point. The employee suffered a crushing injury to his right index finger, which subsequently had to be surgically amputated. The employee was not hospitalized.
