Investigation Summary
At 11:15 a.m. on April 12, 2018, an employee was manually maneuvering a metal cable reel but failed to use the wheel locks. The employee was rocking the reel into place when the reel went too far forward, catching the employee's left hand between the metal bar and the reel. The employee's left hand ring and small finger were caught between the metal bar (side pole) and the metal reel, resulting in an amputation of the small finger.
