Investigation Summary
On October 14, 2003, an employee, a truss assembler, stumbled while stepping off an assembly table. As he reached out with his hands to catch himself, the assembler's right index finger tip became caught between an unguarded moving v-belt and a pulley. The employee's finger was amputated. The employee was taken to a local hospital, where he was treated and released the same day.
