Narrative

EE was using a screw driver to pry open a bung seal in a 55 gallon drum. The screw driver slipped, which caused his hand to glance across the aluminum seal. He suffered a right hand laceration that required 25 stitches. EE was using the wrong tool to get the job done, resulting in this injury.
