## Narrative

A welder was tasked with a repair project on a de-barker machine. He was carrying a 44-pound roll of welding wire to the location. Accessing the de-barker drum requires walking down a rubber conveyor. While stepping onto the conveyor, the employee slipped. This caused him to drop the roll of wire onto his right hand. He sustained crushing injuries to the fingers on his right hand and required surgery for his right middle finger.
