## Narrative

EE stated that while installing an eye bolt, he was holding the bolt and swung the boom of the bolter to the bolt and pushed the wrench onto the bolt but did not remove his finger. The finger tip became caught between the bolt and the wrench causing a avulsion to the finger and a fracture. The avulsion required stitches.
