Employee's fingertip amputated in safe door

Employee #1 was kneeling while placing money in a floor safe. He was closing the safe door when it slipped from his grasp and slammed onto his left index fingertip, amputating it. The safe door had a spring that made it easier to open and dampened the closing, but it had broken earlier in the day.
