## Narrative

Driller completed his run and went to take the quill rod off the rods grabbing it with both hands. Driller then went to set the quill rod on the drill frame but didn't get his right thumb out of the way. Thumb was pinned between the quill rod and the frame causing the skin to break below the first knuckle.
