Abstract: At 10:30 a.m. on November 12, 2019, Employee #1 and a coworker were involved with removing the slip assembly from tubing being removed from the operation. The assembly was dismantled down to the bowl and slip devices. Employee #1's hands were positioned to catch the bowl and slip devices while the coworker was attempting to separate them with a hammer. The coupling and tubing unexpectedly separated, which caused the tubing, bowl and slip devices to fall back into the head device of the casing. Employee #1's four fingers on his left hand were caught between the bowl and head devices. Employee #1's four fingers on the left hand were amputated on site. The employee was hospitalized.
