## Narrative

A craftsman working on a Cat 740B haul truck secured the front of the belly pan with pivot pins, while the rear rested on a jack. While shifting the pan to align the pivot pins, the worker's hand slipped on the edge, causing a laceration to the left pinky finger, severing tendons and requiring surgical repair.
