Narrative

The (contractor) roof bolter employee was in the No. 1 entry. The roof bolter operator started to drill the hole and a piece of draw rock fell out mashing the contractor employee's ring finger and third finger on right hand against the drill pot of the roof bolting machine. This resulted in a break and laceration to the ring finger on the right hand.
