Narrative

EE was moving a piece of mesh from the mesh tray on the roof bolter to place on the ATRS in the normal bolting process. The mesh was placed on the top of both canopies, pushed forward and dropped down on the top of the ATRS. A sharp edge on the mesh sliced through the glove on his left hand cutting his index finger. Three sutures were required to close the small laceration.
