Whitaker Construction · Caught in, under or between a moving and a stationary object

Employee was attempting to remove a screen deck that was jammed. When EE pulled on it and it came free, EE's right hand was caught between the screen and a brace. This resulted in a laceration and hairline fracture to EE's right pinky knuckle. The employee was wearing gloves. In the future the screen will be cleaned and free to remove and impact gloves will be worn.
