Worker Suffers Finger Amputation When Struck by Steel Plate

On October 30, 2006, a maintenance supervisor was repositioning a one-inch thick steel plate, so that sparks and slag would not ignite the dry grass near the work location. When he repositioned the steel plate, it slid off the wooden blocks underneath it. The plate was elevated so that an oxygen and acetylene torch could make the desired cuts. When the plate shifted, the employee's finger was pinched between a rock and the plate (estimated to weigh 480 pounds), and severed his finger just past the fingernail on the pinky of his right hand.
