## Narrative

While doing a slump test the employee was packing down mud with a tamping device & caught his finger between the cone and the tamper. It caused a small open wound on one finger, and partial removal of a fingernail. The tamper was hand-held and the employee misjudged the distance between his finger and the item he held in his other hand.
