Narrative

EE was helping replace the top shaker screens at the Bucket Wheel. EE was at the end of the 1/2 punch plate screen pushing uphill using the palm of his hands. The screen slid and his left middle finger dropped down into the hole of the screen. This caused amputation to the tip of his left middle finger. EE was immediately taken to hospital.
