Narrative

The employee was installing a 10' roof bolt. He raised the bolt up and due to the height, he had to use a wrench. He dropped the drill boom and while inserting the wrench in the chuck, the bolt fell out causing a laceration to his left middle finger. Sutures were required to close the wound.
