Narrative

Two employees were changing center can on a troughing roller. The roller was prepared for removal. As IE pulled the roller to remove it, his plan was to stabilize his end, allow the other end to drop onto the belt, then pull it out. As the roller dropped, the end of his left ring finger was caught between the roller and angle iron. The injury required sutures.
