Narrative

An employee was helping repair a sawmill trimmer. The employee transferred a pry bar from their right hand to their left hand, then turned, at which point the employee's left middle fingertip was pinched between the pry bar and a saw box. The fingertip was crushed at the nailbed, but not fractured; the employee was hospitalized and required surgery.
