Narrative

Employee stated EE was installing roof bolts on the No. 2 Section in the No. 5 Entry. EE drilled the hole, inserted the glue and was placing the bolt head into the wrench. EE's left hand was pinched between the bolt/wrench, and the rotation was engaged. This resulted in the amputation of the tip of the left pinky finger, and dislocation and laceration of the left ring finger.
