Narrative

Three employees were tied off, completing a jaw die maintenance task. IE was carrying roughly a 30 pound wedge plate. While carrying the wedge, IE tripped and tried catching the wedge before it fell allowing the wedge to fall onto EE's left hand fracturing EE's middle finger. EE has since had a follow up appointment and is expected to make a full recovery.
