## Narrative

An employee was replacing a linear motor shaft (a highly magnetic object) on a machine. The new shaft was placed on a work table next to the old shaft. Magnetism caused the two shafts to come together quickly and crush the employee's right middle fingertip. The employee suffered a degloving/amputation from the top of the fingernail.
