Narrative

Foreman was assisting a Mechanic with the removal of a transmission skid plate/Belly Pan from a Bulldozer. The Pan was rigged to prevent movement; as the last bolt was removed the Pan dropped and pinned the foreman?s right hand between the bulldozer?s track housing and the belly pan. He sustained 2 lacerations at the right wrist area which required sutures to close.
