Narrative

The conveyor #46 had plugged up. It was decided that the cover had to be removed. The bolt in the slip stick had been put in before with an impact wrench. The bolt head needed to be sheared off. A chisel and hammer was used. While swinging the hammer at the chisel, it slipped off and struck the left index finger of the employee causing a contusion.
