Narrative

Approximately 11:30 P.M., a maintenance technician was using a hydraulic torque wrench to torque the primary crusher bearing housing bolts. As the technician performed this task, the hydraulic torque wrench slipped off of the bolt, causing the wrench to rotate swiftly, striking the tip of the employee's right ring finger against a steel pulley.
