## Narrative

An employee was assembling a transformer by putting a coil that is suspended by a crane into the metal transformer housing on the ground. To prevent the coil from touching the housing, sheets of cardboard are placed between the coils and housing. During this process, the employee's finger was caught between one of the sheets and the housing as the transformer was being hoisted off the ground. This resulted in amputation of the tip of the employee's right thumb.
