Narrative

Employees were drilling using an auger. They hit rock around 1.5 feet and the injured employee turned around to let his helper know to drop a spoon. The injured employee's jacket sleeve got caught in the auger, pulling him into the auger and causing lacerations to the left shoulder and chest.
