## Narrative

Employee was using a pocket knife to push in a jog button for the belt #1 at the crusher to help in determining the problem with the scale readout. As he was pushing on the knife the blade came closed on top of the employee's right hand index finger at the knuckle area. This resulted in a cut approx. 1/2"" long and deep enough that it was necessary to go to doctor for stitches.
