Narrative

Maintenance technician was changing filters on an excavator, and dropping them off the machine into an open drum. After the technician let one go, a second employee reached out with hand to push the dropped filter into the drum. This employee's finger was pinched between the falling filter and a one already in the drum, causing a laceration.
