Narrative

EE's were working together to install a bolt on the dewatering screen, when injured EE put his finger in the bolt hole to check the alignment. Another EE inserted bolt from the other side and struck it twice with a hammer, pinching injured EE's finger tip, causing him to loose the finger nail and fracturing the finger tip.
