Narrative

IE stated was working on a main control valve for a 793-C truck. IE was prying up on the valve with a pry bar using left hand while trying to get a plug out with right hand. The pry bar slipped and the valve slid catching IE's finger between the valve and the work bench, causing an avulsion and a tuft fracture to the right index finger.
