## Narrative

Employee was assisting with the installation of a new seven foot cone crusher. As the crusher was being lowered one of the bolts was pushed up about six inches and skewed to one side. The employee grabbed the top of the bolt to realign it with the bolt holes and as it lined up the hole it dropped on the employee's thumb causing laceration.
