Narrative

An employee was assisting another employee in removing a flange bolt. The wrench slipped on the bolt head causing it to contact the employee's left thumb tip. He received a laceration and fracture to the tip. Sutures were needed to close the wound and a splint was applied. The employee returned to full duty on his next shift.
