Narrative

An employee sustained injuries to both his right and left hands while operating a Fletcher Roof Bolter placing bolt in a corner section. The drill steel became stuck and seperated from the extension chuck. The employee then grasped the drill steel with his right hand and began pulling it back into alignment with the chuck extension. His glove became entangled in the steel.
