Final narrative
On August 20, 2025, at 8:00 a.m., two employees were removing a suction module on a mud pump. Three bolts were sheared off and the fourth bolt was frozen, making it difficult to remove the module. The employees used a 5-foot pry bar inserted in the bolt hole to free up the module while a forklift bumped and lifted the module using a two-part sling. When the forklift bumped the module, the module came free, causing the pry bar to jump and pinch the injured employee's left little finger against the pulsation dampener, which resulted in a partial fingertip amputation.
