Narrative

While attempting to reattach a fallen guard on a crusher discharge tail pulley belt, an employee grabbed the guard through the openings and began to lift it into place. During this process, the guard at the back of the tail pulley was accidentally dislodged from its hook, resulting in a shearing injury to the employees left ring finger.
