Narrative

EE was in process of using a come-along to move a piece of metal plate associated with the #1 crusher screen. As he reached under the screen to unhook the come-along the metal plate slid and pinched two of his left fingers, which resulted in 3 stitches on his left index finger. The extra slack in the chain stopped the metal from falling fully onto this fingers.
