Making repairs to the Jaw (tighting bolts). Was using a cheater bar and the bar slipped and smashed right thumb. First aid was given at the office for cuts on either side of the knuckle. Employee's wife took him to the doctor to have the thumb X-rayed. No broken bone; however, the thumb was immobilized.
