Narrative

Employee was putting up screen wire in our Main West travel road with a double boom roof bolter. He missed the hole when trying to insert the roof bolt and the bolt bent. He then accidentally hit his rotation, instead of the lowering lever, causing the bent bolt to swing around and hit his right wrist.
