Final narrative
An employee was helping to troubleshoot a resin conveying butterfly valve for proper operation. To perform the operation check, the employee had to support the weight of the valve to minimize the strain on the valve's wiring harness. His right thumb inadvertently entered the butterfly valve's area of actuation, and the butterfly valve smashed his right thumb diagonally across the nail, resulting in an amputation.
