Narrative

Employee was holding a pry bar with his left hand and maintaining hydraulic pressure on the cylinder he was working on with his right hand controlling a hydraulic valve. As he reached with his left hand to push on the keeper pin of the cylinder, his right hand released the hydraulic pressure and the bar quickly moved, crushing his finger between bar and side plate of the shield.
