Narrative

Two employees were installing a metal cover on top of a silo. While repositioning the cover, one of the employees pulled up on handle forcibly causing the handle on the opposite side to go down rapidly pinching the end of the employee's middle finger between the cover's handle and the silo roof. This caused a laceration to the finger and the loss of the fingernail.
