Narrative

Employee had just finished drilling a hole in the face and as he pulled the steel out of the hole he stepped on a rock and lost his balance. This caused him to lose control of the machine which pivoted forward on the leg and caught his hand in a pinch point. This resulted in a fractured bone in the employee's hand.
