Narrative

During cone crusher reassembly, a two-person crew installed lock pins/bushings - one swinging a sledgehammer, the other guiding the ram and signaling the crane operator. The guide called 'hold on' without confirming it was heard, then reached into the strike zone. The hammer struck EE's hand, displacing and lacerating EE's left middle finger.
