Narrative

While using the impact gun to unscrew 3/4"" flat head bolt on a backhoe bucket, employee pushed on the flat head bolt with his left hand to prevent it from spinning. The flat head bolt began to spin and the edges of the bolt sliced into his left index finger causing a 1/4"" deep laceration that required 5 sutures.
