Narrative

EE stated that he and a co-worker were driving rivets into a belt using a spicing machine. They were using hammers to drive the rivets and were both kneeling on the ground at the same side of the spicer. The injured EE had a muscle cramp that made him move forward placing his hand on top of a rivet that was being driven. EE's left ring finger was struck by the co-workers hammer.
