Narrative

Employees were replacing protective wing shroud on the left side of the bucket on the 6020 excavator. While attempting to put the shroud in place, the shroud dropped unexpectedly pinching EE's fingers between the shroud and edge of the bucket. The shroud weighing approximately 40 pounds fell 10 inches before striking the employee's left 3rd finger causing fracture and laceration.
