Narrative

While working on a conveyor, the employee was adjusting the backsplash to center load the conveyor. While the employee was adjusting the backplate, the employee's grip loosened causing the plate to slip from a controlled grip and landed on the tips of two fingers, pinched between angle iron of the backplate and frame of conveyor.
