Narrative

Injured Employee (IE) was moving/lifting a mobile stand so he could remove a screw trough cover to replace a broken dust collector screw. The stand got hung up so he lifted it a little and it shifted slightly down instead of up, as expected, and pinched his right thumb tip between the stand and the screw trough cover. Result was a fractured thumb tip and nail avulsion.
