Narrative

The operator was drilling a hole through steel to affix a grease line. The drill bit bound up while drilling and spun the drill body striking the operator on the left side of the face causing a bruise. The physician checked for concussion symptoms, none found, and removed the operator from work to prevent a concussion while the operator was in a vulnerable state from this impact.
