## Narrative

A mechanic was standing on a 5'x7' scaffold and was using an old pipe wrench to remove a nipple and valve from a tank.  The wrench slipped and the employee went backwards over the top rail and onto the ground below.  He sustained a laceration to the back of his head which require sutures to repair.  No lost time.
