## Narrative

On August 11, 2025, an employee was operating a clamping machine that used two pneumatic cylinders to clamp boards together for gluing. While he was positioning a board, the control was activated and the clamp on one side of the machine closed. A fingertip on his right hand was caught between the clamp and the board. He suffered an amputation to the fingertip (involving a torn fingernail and surrounding skin) as well as a fracture to the last joint of the finger.
