SHERIDAN WHITE ROCK Inc. Metal/Non-Metal

EE's statement has not been taken as of this time, so it is unclear precisely how the injury happened, but, while dumping a hopper of rock, EE somehow put his left hand on the outside of the hopper - perhaps to aid him pulling the level into the open position- and the hopper rolled back and mashed off tip of his left index finger at the base of the nail.

Claimant was shoveling rock out from under conveyor belt, and allegedly injured his back.

Employee noticed debris under the guard; he raised the guard to remove the piece of debris and finger was pinched/cut.
