Narrative

Employee was changing a park brake on a haul truck when the bolt he was using an impact on broke allowing the brake housing to pop slightly outward and strike the top of his right middle finger. This resulted in a 2mm fracture to the fingertip and a laceration to the side of the finger that required 4 stitches. He returned to work full duty on his next scheduled shift.
