Incident date: 2025-07-11
NAICS industry code: 236210

Employees were putting the cap end back on an oil cooler that was sitting on wooden cribbing at ground level. They had to roll the unit on wooden blocks so a flange on the side of the cooler would not hit the cribbing. While an employee was moving the blocks using a short piece of 8-by-8, his left middle fingertip was caught and crushed between two blocks. The finger was partially amputated.
