Final narrative
An employee was using a sleever bar to move a checker plate into place and secure it to the floor of a structure in the melt shop. The sleever bar became stuck and the employee used his left hand to lift the checker plate up enough to free the sleever bar. Once the bar was freed, the checker plate came down and pinched his left index finger between two pieces of plate. The employee suffered an amputation of soft tissue at the fingertip, which required hospitalization.
