Narrative

As the bolter wrench was tightening the bolt in the hole, the bolt was a spinner and did not properly take in the hole. As the wrench was lowered, the bolt came almost all the way out of the hole. When employee reached up to pull the bolt out of the roof by hand (with gloves), it fell out of the roof and pinched the employee's left ring finger. Employee received 3 stitches.
