Narrative

Two employees were rebuilding an air swivel off of a Cubex drill. One was knocking the center shaft loose with a 1"" socket. The other was holding the center shaft with left hand. The employee placed right hand under the shaft to catch it. When the shaft fell, it pinched the employees thumb between the shaft and the table, causing a laceration to right thumb.
