Narrative

Employee stated that EE was attempting to tighten a huck bolt using a huck gun in the de-slime screen beam. When the employee pressed the trigger to tighten the bolt EE didn't have the gun all the way on the bolt so instead of the gun drawing up on the bolt, it shoved down smashing the fingers of EE's right hand between the gun and the 8"" I-beam below.
