Final narrative
An employee was adjusting the pin lock on a chassis that had a container that was not sitting flush to it. The employee struck the pin multiple times with a hammer in the left hand and chisel in the right hand. On the last swing of the hammer, the chisel hit the pin and then slipped, sending the employee's right ring finger under the container as it fell flush to the chassis. The employee's right ring finger was crushed between the chassis and container, resulting in a fingertip amputation.
