Narrative

Two employees were removing a drill steel from a storage rack. As they pulled the drill steel towards themselves, the other end came off the racking storage arm. This caused the up swinging end to pinch the injured employee's hand against the underside of the next level racking arm, causing a laceration/avulsion to left hand ring finger base knuckle.
