## Narrative

An employee was welding and grinding on a pressure vessel. He was manually removing the skirt from the vessel. When the last tack was broken off, the weight of the falling skirt caught his gloved right hand between the vessel and the skirt, resulting in a severe laceration to the middle finger. The finger was amputated at the distal knuckle.
