Narrative

The injured employee was removing a jack stand from under a D6 dozer. EE pulled the pin to collapse the extension and it did not collapse. When it did collapse, EE's finger was pinched, causing an avulsion to the little finger on EE's left hand. The employee did not return to work for EE's next shift making the incident reportable.
