Narrative

Employee was attempting to install a roof bolt into the hole EE just drilled. The bolt did not line up perfectly with the chuck of the roof bolting machine so EE bumped the rotation on the machine to try and get the bolt to go into the chuck. As EE bumped the rotation, EE's glove got caught around the bolt, wrapping EE's hand around the bolt, fracturing the left thumb. No Days Lost
