## Narrative

The crew was installing an axial blower using two manual chain hoists. While lifting the filter housing, a gasket came loose underneath the suspended part. As an employee tried to adjust the gasket with their hands, one of the chains moved and the blower fell and crushed the employee's left index finger, causing an injury.
