Employee Amputates Fingertip Between Steel Lid and Valve

On August 1, 2007, Employee #1, a gas control technician, was working for a public utility. Employee #1 was closing the double lids of a four foot by six foot gas valve enclosure. The lids were warped. Employee #1's left hand got caught between the steel lids and the enclosure. Employee #1 pulled his trapped hand loose of the lids and enclosure. In doing so, Employee #1's fingertip lost flesh, and he chipped his finger bone.
