Narrative

EE was working on machine #2 and a rock piece stuck under the lower belt guard and the belt that carries the split stone away. There is a metal plate that acts as a belt guard which protects the belt from having rocks get under it. It appears as the belt was running/advancing the rock piece was dislodged and the guard came down against the belt which pinched EE's finger.
