Final narrative
On August 22, 2020, the injured employee and a coworker were removing a trash gondola out of a compactor. Both were positioned outside of the compactor. As they were attempting to slide it down to the base of the gondola tipper, the gondola moved and caught the injured employee's fifth digit on his right hand and amputated it at the nail bed.
