Narrative

EE was attempting to change a blow plug on the fluid coupling at the G.H. 2 Belt Head. As he was turning an Allen wrench to loosen the plug, the wrench slipped causing him to strike his right wrist against the metal framing. EE ceased work immediately. X-rays were taken and were negative. Due to the excessive swelling he was removed from work.
