Abstract: At around 9:15 a.m. on January 5, 2012, Employee #1 and three coworkers were moving a water heater towards a stairway. While the crew turned into the stairway, Employee # 1's left index finger was crushed between the wall and the water heater. The supervisor directed one of the workers to take Employee #1 to a US health works. This clinic then directed the worker to take Employee #1 to the Mills Peninsula Medical Center, where the finger was surgically amputated. Employee #1 was unaware of the amputation until two weeks later, when he returned to the hospital for a follow up visit. On that day, Employee #1 informed his employer about the amputation. The employer reported the injury three days after that. Employee #1 had been trained and was qualified for this job.
