Narrative

Employee was stocking bits on a drill. He went to put an old bit in a box and it started to fall. He tried to 'push' the bit into the box, and pinched his right hand between the bit and the box. He was seen at the ER and x-rays were positive for fracture and the nail was removed and the cut stitched. Employee released to restricted duty.
