An employee was replacing a broken drill bit in a computer numerical control (CNC) machine. The employee then placed a part in the machine to process it, reset the tool in the machine, and checked that the machining part was butted up against the stock part. The employee then used their right hand to push back on the part by striking the side of the part when their wrist contacted a sharp edge on the part, resulting in a laceration.
