## Narrative

EE and a partner were moving 60-80-pound return rollers from the staging area to a cart for transport to the work area. While lowering one roller onto the cart, EE's partner set down their end first which caused the roller to shift and slip from EE's hands. EE's gloved left hand became caught between the return roller and rack resulting in pain and swelling to left index finger.
