Narrative

EE was installing 5' fully grouted resin bolts at time of injury. After inserting the resin & roof bolt into the drilled hole he pushed the bolt toward the roof using the boom of the bolting machine. The head of the bolt wasn't fully inserted into the drill chuck when he engaged the rotation of the pot, the bolt was suddenly thrown to one side striking & fracturing his right thumb.
