Narrative

Injured MTM was installing a drive sheave on a pump with a partner. The MTM's partner was installing the sheave while the injured MTM was pushing on the guard. The injured MTM's right pointer finger was in the pinch point of the guard hinge. When the injured MTM felt the pain from the guard pinching their finger, they pulled it out while it was still pinched.
