Narrative

Employee's had right hand resting on the side of the feed hopper near the top of it. EE was looking down into the crusher to see if the saddles were worn. As the feed hopper was being lifted EE did not remove their hand. This caused their fingers to get caught between the top of the feed hopper and the support beam the feeder slides back and forth on.
