## Narrative

Employee was helping to change ram jack on scoop and had set it in place with a lo-trac on 2 crib blocks. A repairman was putting hoses on it when he decided to move it to give more room to hook the hoses and it tilted off the crib block mashing his right hand resulting in a fracture to his ring finger.
