Narrative

Injured EE and another EE were drilling an anchor hole in the mine floor to anchor belt tail piece with a hyd drill. The augar got entangled in a tool pouch, hanging from the other EE's belt, causing injured EE's fingers to become twisted around the handle of the drill. This resulted in a fracture of the middle and ring fingers of the right hand.
