Narrative

While working on a 2"" threaded pipe, the contractor pushed one pipe aside and reached beyond it to reach the one he was working on. As he moved the pipe aside, his forearm struck the threads of that pipe which had a small bur on it. The bur caused a 1/2 inch laceration that required six sutures.
