Narrative

EE was assisting a CAT field mechanic to line up a final drive. While lifting the final drive up with the forklift, the final drive tipped forward. Our employee had his left hand on the chain that they were using around the final drive. His left index and left ring finger was pinched between the final drive and the chain. This resulted in 3 stitches in each injured finger.
