Narrative

EE was unloading belt structure from a supply car into a scoop bucket. Two pieces of top structure (rollers) slid together when he had his right hand placed between them during removal from the car. When this occurred, the injured EE's right thumb was caught between the two rollers, which caused a fracture to the tip of his right thumb.
