Final narrative
An employee was helping to install a blind between a pipe flange and a block valve. The flange needed to be separated in order to remove the gaskets and install new gaskets and the blind. The device that was used to maintain space between the flanges flipped, and the employee's left index fingertip was pinched by the device. The employee sustained a partial amputation and required surgery.
