Lhoist North America Of Tennessee, Inc. · Over-exertion in wielding or throwing objects

EE was working on unjamming buckets at the loadout chute. He took his gloves off to remove the bolts holding the outside skirt so that he could get to the buckets. Several buckets were stuck together so he hit them with a hammer. When the buckets came apart, they smashed his fingers between the buckets resulting in a laceration to one finger and contusion to another.
