## Narrative

A team of three employees were attempting to clean the cutting area of an Easi-miner that was clogged with built-up dirt.  One of the team members had their hand in a crush point and his right ring finger was caught between the tooth of the cutter head and the tub of the machine causing a severe laceration that required 10 stitches.
