EE was trying to pry a rock out of jaw unit and smashed EE's finger with pry bar and the rock.
EE was trimming conveyor belt using a utility knife. The belt cut easier than EE expected, resulting in the knife travelling past the conveyor belt and making contact with the EE's leg. The contact resulted in a laceration requiring sutures.
During Teardown of the loadout bunker one of the legs got hung up. They were using a pry bar to release the tension, the bar slid off the leg and it slid down on the pedestal. EE had put hand on the pedestal to move it as the bar slid off crushing EE's 4 fingers.
