Narrative

While truss bolting and removing a steel from the rib the employee's hand tangled with a wad of nylon string adjacent to the hole twisting his hand around the steel. The twisting action tore the skin from the tip of his ring and little fingers. Although no sutures were required the use of his right hand was restricted while healing.
