Narrative

EE was installing a new material deflector plate onto a chute. The chute had been removed from the cone crusher & was in the shop. As EE was putting the strip of metal into place so that it could be welded, the strip rotated in such a way that the EE's thumb was bent awkwardly. As a result, one of the tendons in EE's hand ruptured.
