Narrative

Employee had drilled a hole and stuck the roof bolt in the hole and was preparing to push the bolt up. The bolt didn't align with the wrench so he was going to bump the rotation and caught his glove around the roof bolt. He received 22 stitches to his left hand. He returned to work underground on his next scheduled shift.
