Narrative

While installing new liners inside the mill, the injured employee pulled the liner to slide it into position for installation. The injured employee's right hand was holding a pry bar, and EE's left was pulling the liner. The liner slid and likely struck the loose pry bar, which then ricocheted into the injured employee's right index finger.
