## Narrative

Two employees were assembling a roll-up door. Tension had been applied to help roll the curtain into the door barrel; one of the employees was using a metal bar and a pin to secure the pre-tension wheel as this tension was slowly released. The pin dislodged and the wheel spun, pinching the employee's left hand between the end bell metal plate and the bar. The employee's index and middle fingers were crushed and the tip of the left index finger was amputated.
