EE was clearing out a beaver dam in the area, and ended up scraping the upper right thumb knuckle. EE is not sure what EE scraped it on for sure, but EE did scrape it while clearing out the dam.
EE had picked up on the leg of the conveyor with both hands, and removed the pin. When putting it back down, the ledge of the conveyor slipped and pinched tip of EE's middle finger on the left hand. This cut EE's finger open and caused it to bleed.
EE was moving a water splitter. When EE was pulling it out to move it, the hose bounced back at EE once it was loose. The steel fitting on the end of the hose is what hit EE's forehead and gave EE the cut. Due to the cut, EE then went to the emergency room to see what needed to be done.
Unrolling a conveyer belt. Had to swing it around, and when it unrolled and did a pass it pulled employee's finger in between the pipe and the belt. Got finger stuck in it.
