Narrative

EE was helping a Yard Runner operator move an electric motor. The motor got caught on an angle iron bracket and swung unexpectedly. This unexpected movement caught the EE's right thumb between the motor and support piping. This resulted in a laceration and fracture of the right thumb. The laceration required sutures to repair. EE is on restricted duty.
