Narrative
An employee was performing assembly operation steps on an electric detonator that included cleaning possible powder residue from a weld joint and placing a solder ring at the weld joint for a future operation. While performing a step in the operation, a single detonator exploded in the employee's hand. The employee's left thumb and index fingers were struck by blast pressure and shrapnel resulting in partial fingertip amputations on both fingers.
