Narrative

Employee was assisting bolting in 3 North Left Mains. While the center bolter was attempting to raise the bolt in the hole, the bolt became lodged in the hole twelve inches from the roof. He then tried to lower the bolt and raise it back into the hole rotating it. The rotation caused the bolt wrench to come off the drill head striking the bolter and then striking him in the mouth.
