## Narrative

During a mid-shift inspection of the work area, a hazard was noticed. The employee thought it to be a good idea to look further into the hazard to see if EE could fix it. Watching the kiln and assessing danger EE moved closer to the Gaurd to see if it needed removal or adjustment. EE's hand rested on the guard momentarily and the guard failed pinching EE's finger.
