Narrative

The employee was drilling a hole to install a 6' bolt with half header. While spinning bolt to mix the glue he was holding onto the half header to keep it from spinning. When the resin was ready to hold against the top to finish the process, he had his finger over top of the header when pressing against the roof causing a fracture of the distal digit, middle finger of right hand.
