Narrative

An employee was reassembling the screen support roller onto a pillow block. He connected the left side to the pillow block and then went to ensure that the right side of the pillow block was still connected. While doing so, the left side of the roller fell back out, pinching his finger between the roller and the support angle bracket and causing a laceration to the ring finger.
