Narrative

While employee was relieving pressure on duke jack, jack became dislodged catching employee's thumb between spill tray and jack. Lack of employee concentration was the cause of this incident. PPE was not a factor, compliance with rules/regs was not a factor, mining systems was not a factor, miner proficiency was a factor.
