Narrative

Two employees were replacing UMHW Chute Liner at Vulcan Materials Stafford Plant. One employee was holding the liner while the other employee drilled a 1/2"" hole in it. While the hole was being drilled the liner moved causing the employee holding it to move it back in place at which time his glove got caught in the drill bit pulling his hand into the moving bit.
