Abstract: At 7:15 a.m. on February 27, 2020, an employee working as a laborer for an automobile manufacturer was using a manual torque wrench to loosen a bolt on the underside of a vehicle while the tires were being rotated by powered rollers. With the wrench head still attached to the bolt, the wrench handle contacted the spinning tire forcing the wrench upward. The employee pinched his left-hand middle finger between the wrench handle and the metal skid plate on the bottom of the vehicle. The employee amputated his finger and required medical treatment without hospitalization.
