Narrative

Employee was adjusting carousel brake on an overburden drill. He was leaning against the carousel with his left hand as he applied an impact wrench to the brake adjuster. The carousel moved enough to pinch his left hand. He jerked his hand out and a rough surface caused a partial skin avulsion to his palm. The doctor decided to apply stitches.
