Narrative

EE was installing belt hangers with a Fletcher roof bolter. He had started drilling a hole & was ready to add a 3' extension steel. While pushing the drill steel back into the roof his left hand was on the steel. When the steel bottomed out it bent & caught his left index finger between the drill steel & the frame of the drill mast. Sutures were required to close the laceration.
