Before the incident

Splitting a 30 pcs. bundle of sheets of sheet metal in half.

What happened

The EE was splitting a bundle of sheets by prying them apart with a prying tool. When he got down to the other end and split the bundle he realized that he didn’t bring a third block with him. He left the prying tool balancing in the pried open position and got another block. He grabbed the block from the sides with his middle finger and thumb but had his pointer finger on top. He slid the block into the pried open space when the balancing prying tool let go and quickly went back to the un-pried position pinching his right pointer finger between the material and the block.

Injury or illness

Right index finger tip soft tissue avulsion.

Object or substance involved

A bundle of sheet metal.

Summary line

The EE pinched the tip of his right index finger between 15 sheets of sheet metal and and a spacer block while splitting a bundle of 30 sheets. This caused a soft tissue avulsion.
