Narrative

An employee was pre-rigging a well pad and torquing down the monoline. His hands were placed on the head of the hydraulic torque wrench while moving it to a different bolt. At the same time, the employee's foot slipped and the torque wrench activated. His left little finger went between the nut and head, resulting in a fingertip amputation.
