Narrative

The employee stated that he was performing a pre-operational inspection of the 20 ton diesel motor and while dropping a side panel to the motor compartment caught the tip of his finger between the panel and a 10 ton jack that was secured in a side tray. The incident resulted in a fracture to the tip of the finger and avulsion that required sutures.
