## Narrative

A Mill Diagnostic mechanic was guiding a coupling guard into position using crane assistance. The mechanic attempted to lift the bottom edge of the guard to maneuver it over the adjustment bolt. The guard was set back down, the mechanic's left hand was still positioned underneath, resulting in the left index finger being caught and pinched between the adjustment bolt and the guard.
