Narrative

The drill crew was tripping out drill rods and laying them in the rod tray located on the side of the drill rig. The employee was using a wrench to raise the rod to loosen the rod hoisting bail. Once the hoisting bail was removed the employee pulled out the wrench causing the rod to shift and come in contact with EE's right hand.
