Narrative

While roof bolting the employee's drill steels got stuck in the roof mesh. The roof bolting partner set angle bolt causing the roof mesh to move freeing the steels from the mesh. The steels came out of the roof striking the employee's right pinky finger that was on top of the jaws causing a wound that required stitches. Right pinky finger also has a small fracture.
