## Narrative

The employee was trying to replace a shear.  In order to replace the pin, the broken pin needed to be removed from the clevis with a relay bar.  The clevis pushed back, pinching the employee's right thumb between the relay bar and the clevis.  He sustained an avulsion to his right thumb and is on restricted duty until this heals to avoid infection.
