Narrative

Miner (A) was helping another miner (B) lift and position a 3/8""x50x40 piece of plate steel onto a cut table to make cuts on. Miner B felt his hand starting to get pinched so he let go of the metal plate. This resulted in the metal plate falling onto miner A's left ring finger resulting in a cut and fracture of the finger tip.
