## Narrative

The employee was tightening a bolt on a drifter shoe with an impact gun. As the bolt tightened, a pin hole developed in a weak portion of the shoe as residual cleaning solvent in the bolt hole pressurized with the bolt being installed. This caused the remaining solvent in the bolt hole to inject into the employee's left middle finger.
