Narrative

NAIS crew was hydroblast cleaning the inside of tank. EE wanted to shotgun a different area of the tank but there was a slab of material approx. 30-40 lbs where EE wanted to stand. EE tried to pick up the material to move it out of the way. EE lost control of grip and the material fell on EE's right hand. EE was able to get hand out from underneath the material and exited the tank.
