Narrative

Two employees were working in a shop, repairing a piece of oilfield equipment known as an active heave drawworks (AHD) drum shaft. As one of them was inserting the bolt, the drum rotated, his crescent wrench slipped from its position, and his left hand was pinched between the wrench and the frame of the equipment. His index fingertip was amputated.
