## Narrative

Employee was trying to break the plate lock to gain access to their tools because he forgot the keys. During the process, he was using a homemade pipe lance as a bar to pull the plate and break it. He made a strong force and the lance slipped between the door and plate causing the fifth finger to get over the plate edge causing a cut over the nail and  finger's body.
