Employee's finger amputated after being pinned by valve

At approximately 1:00 a.m. on February 9, 1991, Employee #1 and a coworker were removing a control valve at a Shell Oil Refinery in Martinez. To keep the valve from falling, the employees used a staging pipe and rope. The coworker held the rope while Employee #1 removed the bolts. When Employee #1 removed the last bolt, the valve swung back and pinched his right ring finger against a flange. Employee #1 was taken to Mt. Diablo Hospital for treatment. Ten days later, the finger was surgically amputated.
