Narrative

The employee was using a hammer and chisel to knock a pin out of a belt drive boom. When the pin came out the boom suddenly moved forcing the chisel down into the boom pin hole, pinching the employee's little finger on his left hand between the boom frame and the chisel. This resulted in cutting the employee's finger requiring stitches.
