Narrative

Employee was installing a 5' torque tension super-twist bolt. 4.5' of the bolt was up into the hole when it started to bend. He tried to push the bolt on up into the hole when the head broke off. When dropping the wrench to install a new bolt, the plate lying on top of the wrench fell off & hit him on the bridge of the nose causing a laceration. Sutures were required.
