Final narrative
Three employees were placing a plate into position for welding. The injured employee grabbed the plate to help move it into the proper position and a co-worker then adjusted the plate for it to drop down into location. The injured employee went to lift the plate again and placed her left middle finger into a plug hole to gain leverage. The plate dropped onto her fingertip, and her fingertip was lacerated. The employee's left middle finger was also amputated at the nail.
