Abstract: At 12:30 p.m. on August 5, 2020, while connecting 16-inch water lines inside a trench, an employee disconnected the chains from the track hoe bucket after the pipe was lowered to the trench floor. After signaling to the operator that the bucket was free, the operator moved the bucket, which pinched the employee's hand against the trench wall and the top of the road. This incident resulted in a fingertip amputation to the first knuckle of the left ring finger. The employee was treated without hospitalization.
