A large laser table weighing 1500 lbs. was being moved into a storage unit for customer. Wood decking was placed on the floor of the storage unit so the table was not sitting directly on the concrete floor. As the laser table was set down, one employee's left index finger was caught between the bottom of the table and the decking, resulting in amputation below the first knuckle.
