Narrative

EE was installing his rib line roof bolt and had his 4' starter steel in the roof. When he repositioned his boom to add a 4' extension steel, he had his left hand on the 4' steel still in the roof. The halo on the canopy pinched his index finger on his left hand against the starter steel as the boom was repositioned. This caused a laceration which had to be closed with sutures.
