## Narrative

An employee was drilling holes in copper tubing while wearing gloves. As she moved a part into position and began lowering the drill head, her right hand bumped the drill bit, which caught the fabric of the glove and pulled her right hand into the bit. The drill bit deeply lacerated her middle finger and partially amputated her pinky and index fingers.
