Narrative

Coal Maintenance Mechanic was repairing an air line in the 1R tunnel beneath the stack-out tube. While using a wrench, the wrench slipped on a fitting and the employee lightly contacted the tail end of a worm-gear hose clamp near the fitting. The edge of the metal hose clamp caused a laceration of employee's right ring finger requiring (9) sutures to close.
