Narrative

Employee was checking the shear pin on the K-4 coal mill. They reached for a wrench to leave the area and the coal mill clean out door nuts vibrated loose and the door pinched their right index finger between the door and the rotary feeder housing. This resulted in a minor fracture and a laceration of the right index finger.
