Narrative

Employee was picking up a rock that was 12"" height x 20"" length, approximately 80 pounds. He set the rock on the belt to be split and his hand was under the rock. This caused a laceration to his left pinky finger. He was taken to Stamford Hospital, at which time they referred him to the Hendrick Hospital for surgery to sew up the injury. The finger was broken as well.
