Narrative

Two employees were driving a shaft thru a gearbox to remove it. The injured employee was holding a pipe while another employee hit the pipe with a hammer to drive the shaft out. The pipe was driven sideways by a bad hammer hit and pinched the employees finger between the pipe and pulley, resulting in a laceration and fracture of the left ring finger.
