Narrative

EE and co worker were replacing a ""Jaw Crusher Maganese Bolt"". EE was using a ""Sledge Hammer"" and bar to loosen the bolt, he missed hitting the bar and the hammer motion took him, and the hammer into a steel plate which is part of the jaw. He was still holding on to the hammer handle and his fingers got caught between the plate and handle.
