Narrative

Employee was removing a bolt on a 330CL Excavator to change out attachments and when the bolt broke loose his left thumb was smashed between the wrench and the boom. His left thumb began to swell after a while. A co-worker and the employee talked and decided to be safe to have his left thumb looked at.
