Narrative

An employee lost approximately 1/3 of the finger while performing routine daily maintenance on a piece of equipment known as a topsoil screen. Two employees were cleaning debris from the radiator. In order to gain access to the radiator, the motor was moved. While placing the motor back into its proper alignment by placing a pin into a mount, the mount moved catching the employees finger and causing injury.
