Employee's finger amputated when caught in shear point

On March 3, 1999, Employee #1 amputated the tip of his right ring finger when it got caught in a shear point. The shear point was created when the base extension of a dolly folded onto the employee's finger after he grabbed the dolly to remove it from a flatbed truck. The employee had been using the dolly to move file cabinets. After completing the task, the dolly was loaded without being folded. When Employee #1 grabbed the dolly to take it off the truck, it folded on his finger, amputating it.
