Narrative

Two employees were in the process of replacing refuse flume screen panels. They lowered the panel (2' x 4', 150 lbs) to the deck by hand. At this point, the middle and ring finger of his left hand were caught between the deck and the screen panel. He was referred to an orthopedic surgeon where it was determined he had incurred fractures to the tip of both fingers.
