Investigation Summary
At 1:30 p.m. on November 14, 2018, Employee #1 was spinning the tank head while the welder/fabricator drew tangent and degree lines. As the tank head turned, the in-house manufactured hook straightened and the head fell. The employee's left index and middle finger became caught between the tank head and the metal plate below, crushing his left index finger, resulting in surgical amputation of the fingertip.
