Lid of storage box on loader fell onto employee's right hand ring finger, lacerating skin on right side of fingernail. Originally did not think this was reportable since there was no lost time and restrictions did not inhibit employee from doing his regular job. Now it has been determined that the rx given makes this a reportable incident since it was more than a single dose.
Employee was lying on the ground underneath loader trying to tighten bolts on center pin using a ratchet and breaker bar. The bolt snapped off and the employee jerked himself out of the way from the falling cheater bar. At this time he felt some pain in his shoulder and on up into his neck.
