Narrative

An employee with 1 year and 26 weeks of mining experience was working to clear chunks from a weigh feeder, using a bar. The employee's grip on the bar slipped, and the ring finger on the right hand was pinched between the bar and the guard for the weigh feeder, creating a small laceration on underside of the second metacarpal joint.
