## Narrative

Additional backup support was needed to break loose a drill stem connection that was very tight. The pipe wrench used as backup support slipped and pushed EE's hand into an expanded metal guard that had an exposed edge. The exposed metal cut through the glove and cut the bottom side of employee's right ring finger.
