Narrative

A millwright was attempting to get a flange on a pump aligned to put in the flange bolts. A second employee was attempting to assist maneuvering the pipe with a pry bar and the pry bar slipped, pinching the millwright's right thumb between the bar and the flange on the charge line resulting in a laceration requiring sutures.
