EE was moving backhoe down a ramp into the coal pit. The door on the machine was in the open position, the operator thought the door was latched in the open position. The door was not latched so while he was moving down the ramp he was holding onto the door jamb of the machine. The machine hit a bump causing the door to swing closed on his hand.
Employee was attempting to hook boom truck to shaker screen. He was holding hook to get aligned with screen (the hook is on a swivel) & when they picked up the screen, the swivel turned & pinched his right pinky finger against the shaker screen. His finger was lacerated on top & bottom. Stitches were needed to close the wound.
