## Narrative

Employee's air drill was laying on top of a tool box of the welding truck and was not in use. As they walked by the drill, their leg brushed against the supply hose for the drill. It knocked the drill off and by reflex they grabbed the drill. The bit struck their hand causing a laceration to the palm of the left hand.
