## Narrative

4 employees were staging 54"" return rollers for replacement on the #7 Lang Main Line belt. One employee was pushing the roller to the side of the tractor bucket, then another employee would lift the roller and slid the roller out the side of the bucket. The roller inadvertently shifted in the bucket and the employee's finger was smashed between the bucket and the roller.
