## Narrative

The employee was operating the controls of a hydraulic jack from a location six feet from the object being rotated. The jack was placed against a notch cut into the top ring of a seven foot diameter cone crusher. The corner of the notch failed and a shard of metal (2""x1"") flew six feet and struck the employee in the upper lip. The laceration required five sutures. No lost time.
