Narrative

EE was inside a cargo container holding plywood in place as coworker was attempting to attach it from the outside, using a power tool to pre-drill the screw holes. Drill bit came through the wood and into the palm of EE's hand, creating puncture wound. Work stopped immediately to dress wound on site before EE was transported to ER for bandaging & antibiotics. Minimal impairment.
