## Narrative

An employee was trying to reposition an electric motor that was hanging vertically from an overhead hoist. He placed a block under the motor and slowly lowered the hoist so the motor would tip. The motor rotated unexpectedly and moved laterally which caused his finger to become pinched between the block and a protruding housing.
