## Narrative

Employee had just finished drilling a round with a jackleg drill. His partner pulled the steel out of the chuck and as he stood the machine up he lost his footing and fell backward pinching his hand between the machine and the corner of a rib mat. This caused a laceration to the web between his fore-finger and thumb which required sutures.
