The incident
A project engineer was in the moonpool area to verify the torque settings on the wrench, as stipulated in the task plan. The project engineer stepped in to assist the deck engineer and they began torquing the bolts together. During the torquing of the last bolt, the project engineer placed his left hand on the reaction bar of the force multiplier as torque was being applied. His hand slipped and was trapped between the reaction bar and the gooseneck causing a hand injury.
