Narrative

A Temporary employee was in process of loading an incoming truck, when the mast chain drive became loose by hitting a bump on the roadway. They decided to try and put the chain drive back in place by placing their left hand inside the chain pulley, when the pulley snapped back in place, catching the left finger, causing a fracture.
