## Narrative

A plant employee was helping lift an idler back into position on an overland conveyor. When it wouldn't fit, they lowered it back down. One employee dropped his end causing the other employee's finger to be caught between the idler and a railroad tie on the ground. His fingertip was fractured and lacerated. The finger was put in a splint and received 4 sutures.
