Narrative

EE was installing coupling on crusher. Coupling became stuck on shaft and had to heat so they could remove. While other EE was hitting coupling, injuried EE was heating and when coupling became loose, he put his PPE gloves on and was going to sit coupling down. Coupling was too heavy for one person, so when coupling came off shaft it landed on right index finger.
