## Narrative

2.10.2020 an employee was attempting to remove a clam gate on the metering bin for our wash plant.  EE had two c-clamp vice grips holding the gate in place.  EE removed all but one bolt, removed one of the vice grips, removed the remaining bolt. The remaining vice grip released under tension striking EE's left pinky finger, causing stitches to be needed.
