Narrative

The employee was tightening bolts on the new lime circuit with a high torque wrench. The employees left index finger was between a bolt and the handle of the wrench, so when he started to torque the bolt, his finger was pinched between the bolt and the handle causing a laceration to the tip of the left index finger.
