Narrative

While replacing a wall hammer in the crusher the hammer slipped out of position. Injured person & another employee lowered the hammer to re-position their grip so the hammer did not fall onto a 3rd employee. IP did not remove his hand causing the hammer to sit down on his hand pinching his hand/fingers. X-rays revealed no fractures & he was released to return to work.
