Narrative

Stated: The employee was in the process of changing out the springs on the feed end of the A2 desliming vibrator. The vibrator was being held up with a 3 ton come along hooked to a loop of 3/4"" cable thru another metal plate. As he was putting the new spring in place, the cable pulled thru the metal plate. The spring mashed the small finger on his right hand.
