## Narrative

Employee needed to open the top hatch of the cherry picker to see his signal man.  The hatch wouldn't stay open and kept falling back down.  He propped the hatch open with a mirror he found laying behind the seat.  When he applied the swing brake, the mirror fell, struck his hand, broke, and cut his left index and middle fingers requiring stitches.
