Abstract: At 10:35 a.m. on May 16, 2017, an employee was working from a 12 foot A-framed ladder to repair an overhead door chain and sprocket motor mechanism that belonged to an ambulance garage at a medical center. As the employee descended the ladder, after completing the repair, and rested his left hand on the chain, a paramedic activated the switch to the overhead door. The employee's hand became caught in the chain and sprocket, amputating the fingertips of two fingers on his left hand.
