Narrative

A plant operator was installing a bullwheel on a crusher unit. The spreader bar that the bullwheel was mounted on swung back towards the employee. The employee's fifth (pinky) finger was pinched between the spreader bar and a bracket causing a fracture and a laceration that required sutures to close. He returned to work that same shift.
