Kenny Seng Construction, Inc · Caught in, under or between a moving and a stationary object

EE was helping the crusher crew lower the stacker belt of our portable crusher. The hydraulics were turned on to lower the stacker belt and the EE rested his hand in an area of the stacker belt that he shouldn't have put his hand. A piece of metal on the stacker belt came down on his right middle & pointer finger, which smashed, lacerated and fractured parts of his fingers.
