Narrative

EE was using a large hammer to hit on a belt roller to break it loose from the steel structure. EE was holding the roller with their left hand. As EE was swinging the hammer with the right hand and hitting the roller, they missed the belt roller and hit a finger with the hammer. This resulted in a laceration to the left ring finger, requiring six (6) sutures to close the wound.
