Narrative

A driller sustained a closed fracture to the 4th finger on the right hand when he fell exiting the Sanvik Track Drill. A compressor hose broke causing synthetic compressor oil to be sprayed over the drill. While descending the access ladder to address the problem he lost his grip on the oil covered ladder and fell. He injured his finger when he put his hand out to break his fall.
