Narrative

Employee was using an 8lb hammer to open a hammer type valve. When he struck the valve for the 3rd time the hammer bounced back and struck the ee on the right side of his face. The EE was wearing safety glasses & goggles, but the impact caused both items to shift and the safety glass frame cut the employee's right eyelid. Sutures were required to close the wound.
