## Narrative

An employee and a co-worker were replacing an air filter in a dust collector using a scissor lift. The co-worker pushed the filter with his foot so that the employee on the ground could grab the filter when the employee's finger was smashed between the filter and the scissor lift, resulting in an avulsion and an amputation of the right ring fingertip.
