Narrative

Employee was repairing the Emergency Brake bracket on one of our service trucks. He was using a 3/8"" electric drill with a 1/2"" drill bit to bore out the bracket mount, when the bit got jammed. The drill twisted and hit the employees hand, resulting in a spiral fracture to the right hand.
