Narrative

A Mill Maintenance Mechanic was assisting with the removal of a plow tip from a Raymond Mill. The plow tip was rigged using a chain and was being hoisted from the ground. The injured employee was guiding the plow using his right hand to hold the chain. The load shifted causing the chain to move downward, pinching the mechanics fifth digit on the right hand.
