Final narrative
An employee was pulling soil samples and running a geotechnical soil sample rig. The employee was lowering a section of the soil sampling rod into the previously advanced bore hole when their right hand was caught and crushed in the rod clamp. His right hand was fractured and sustained lacerations on both the dorsal and palmer side. His right index finger had a significant laceration which subsequently resulted in a portion of his finger, below the metacarpophalangeal joint (MCP), being surgically amputated the following day.
