EFR White Mesa LLC · Caught in, under or between a moving and a stationary object

While performing maintenance, an employee was manually removing a section of metal floor grating. The grating shifted unexpectedly, catching and pinching the employee's right middle finger between the grating and the support frame. This resulted in a laceration to the fingertip which required sutures for closure.
