Final narrative
Employees were repairing a guardrail system which had been damaged by back-fill soil material. A skid-steer was removing soil from the guardrail system while the injured employee was pulling a stanchion out and away from the skid-steer bucket. The bucket caught the employee's right index finger against the stanchion; the fingertip was amputated.
