Narrative

The EE was working to remove a bearing housing from the Wobbler Feeder, located at the primary. Upon removing the bearing housing from the shaft, the housing slipped, catching the employee's hand on the way down, catching the employee's index finger between the housing and the feeder structure, causing a rupture wound to the finger that required 19 sutures to close.
