Narrative

Employee and co-worker were replacing the element of an Omega coupling. While aligning bolt holes (by spinning the motor), the injured employee's left middle finger slipped into a bolt hole. The finger was caught between the Omega flange and the bolt hole in the crusher coupling. This resulted in a finger cut and fracture.
