Narrative

Employee was checking the gearbox to pinion alignment on a ball mill. EE was turning the coupling when the stored energy in the drive system caused the coupling to counter-rotate resulting in EE's hand slipping. The right pinky finger was pinched between the 2 coupling hubs causing a laceration and fractured and displaced bone.
