## Narrative

On March 28, 2016, at approximately 11:20 p.m., an employee exited his excavator and peered into the bin where he was placing additives. Wearing metatarsal gloves, the employee placed his left hand on the side of the bin. A piece of metal, used as a trough, was not secure and slid against his hand, amputating his left pinky finger down to the knuckle.
