Narrative

Adding new drill steel to one of the company's drills. The new steel was put in place by using the boom on the mechanic's truck with a strap around the steel. After several attempts of lining up the steel and jogging the head to thread the steel, EE got his hand caught in the strap. When the head was jogged it wrapped his arm around the steel.
