Narrative

The employee was removing a pump casing to perform preventative maintenance. When the employee removed the casing, EE's hand was inside the pump. The pump shifted and EE pinched EE's right index finger between the pump case and impeller. This resulted in a break at the tip of EE's right finger and a laceration requiring several stitches. The employee was wearing gloves.
