## Narrative

An employee was dislodging a build-up of semi-molten glass that had accumulated on the outside of one of the rotating cooling rollers on a glass marble machine. While tapping the accumulated glass with a metal bar, the bar jerked downward and pinched the employee's right little finger between the metal bar and the frame of the machine. The employee sustained a partial amputation of the finger just below the nail.
