Narrative

The employee was drilling a hole between two aluminum tanks when the drill bit became caught on the aluminum. The energy was transferred into the drill handle causing his hand to be slammed into an edge of the aluminum tank. He sustained a laceration to the top right hand requiring six sutures. After treatment he was returned to full work duty.
