## Narrative

The employee was changing a unplugged drill bit. EE was using EEs hands to loosen and tighten the drill bit in place. EE could not get a sufficient grip on the drill due to wearing gloves that had oil/grease on them as did the drill. EE removed EEs gloves to attempt to improve EEs grip. EEs hand slipped while tightening the drill and struck the tip of the bit causing a laceration.
