Narrative

While drilling the fourth bolt hole the drill steel got plugged and the employee put his hand on the top of the steel to see if it was stuck. A rock fell from the top and stuck the employee's hand as it was on top of the bolt. He was taken to seek medical attention and has a fractured middle finger and received 10 stitches for the laceration on his left hand.
