Final narrative
Two employees were moving a 55-gallon drum containing windshield wiper fluid. One of the employees had to re-position the barrel from the vertical to the horizontal position using a rocking stand and strap. As the employee was positioning the barrel, it slipped. The employee's right pinky finger was caught between the drum and stand, resulting in a finger amputation.
