## Narrative

An employee was removing bolts on a shaft adapter with a ratcheting allen head socket wrench. While the employee was loosening a bolt, the blocking bar for the shaft slipped, allowing the shaft to drop 6 inches and pinch the employee's left little fingertip between the ratchet and the top of the gearbox. The finger was partially amputated.
