Narrative

A peice of metal came loose from a chipping hammer and became lodged in employee's left hand between his thumb and first finger. A co-worker was using the hammer to dislodge material from a feed plate on a scalping screen and he was standing next to him. The small peice of metal was not removed because of the depth in his hand.
