Abstract: At 7:15 p.m. on August 6, 2020, an employee was attempting to remove, and re-adjust, a label located on the end of a stack of Magstone doors. The employee was using his left hand to re-adjust the label and was holding the remote control in his right hand when he accidently hit the reverse button on the remote. This caused the stack of doors to move backwards pinching the tip of the employee's left index finger between the rollers of the cart and the bottom of the stack of doors. The employee suffered an amputation of his left index fingertip and was treated without hospitalization.
