## Narrative

Employee was going to get a clay sample to check solids on #3 blunger tank and found the float was stuck in the open position. He tried shaking it to release it and when the float unlodged, it fell down pinching his hand and glove between the float shaft and the float shaft housing causing a laceration between his thumb and index finger.
