Narrative

The EE was in the process of moving a radiator shroud of a D-11 dozer out of the way on the shop floor to make room for additional equipment to drain anti-freeze. As the EE moved a shroud which was slightly propped up against the dozer track it slipped out of his hand and fell approximately 6-7 inches pinching his left middle finger.
