Narrative

Employee was beginning to start roof bolting. He had inserted a drill steel into the drill pot. He was holding the steel with his right hand when he thought he reached for the lever to raise the pot. Instead he activated the lever to close the auger clamp and it caught his right hand. He received fractures to his right ring and middle finger.
