Narrative

The Employee was changing a piece of Drill Steel in EE's Novamac Quarry drill. The employee stated that EE had EE's hand on the drill steel and hit the wrong lever which caused the extraction clamp to close and raised the steel bringing EE's hand through the clamp causing a fracture to EE's left hand. The employee returned to work the same day with light duty restrictions.
