Narrative

A shaft that secures a wheel on a tire balancing machine broke. The EE's finger was caught between the machine and the wheel, causing a laceration and a fracture to the tip of his left ring finger. The machine was tagged out and will be replaced with a larger capacity model. Training is being provided to prevent over-torqueing of shaft.
