Narrative

An employee was using a 24-volt battery-powered drill to drill into a plastic vault used for telecommunication equipment when the glove on his left hand was snagged by the rotating drill bit. As a result, he suffered a partial amputation to the ring finger on his left hand with a small amount of bone loss.
