Narrative

During crusher maintenance. The employee first removed the center plate which allows the shoes to be knocked out. As the shoe was placed along the top edge of the crusher it began to slide forward. In an instinctive move the employee reached out to catch the shoe resulting in the shoe mashing the tip of the employee's right pinky finger against the inside of the crusher.
