A temporary employee was using a metal drum lift to lift a 55-gallon plastic drum to raise and tip the drum over and pour the suntan product mix into a container to be weighed. He placed his hand on the lift's clamp while the drum was in a vertical position. The drum slipped and his right index finger was caught between the top lip of the drum and the clamp resulting in the amputation of his right index fingertip.
