Narrative

While helping install roof bolts, the injured individual was holding the wire mesh screen. The other operator raised the ATRS against the mine roof and the individual who was holding the wire mesh had his right hand pinched between the ATRS frame and the mine roof. This caused lacerations to all four fingers of his right hand and fractured the 3rd and 4th fingers.
