Narrative

Employee was in the process of using a come-along to hoist a section of angle iron which was to be welded to a conveyor belt head roll structure for bracing. As they tensioned the device and were setting the brace in place, the hook slipped up the brace and pinched their right middle finger between the hook and the brace. This resulted in a laceration to their right middle finger.
