Narrative

While setting a roof bolt in the roof, the employee was using a drill steel wrench to finish pushing it to the roof. With his hand on the wrench, he attempted to set the bolt. The wrench slipped off the bolt and kicked over smashing his hand between the wrench and the drill steel clamps, resulting in a Laceration which required 5 stitches.
