Narrative

Employee was in the process of building a guard, and was welding at the time, when another employee with a lit cutting torch pulled on the torch to get more slack in the hose. In the process he ran the lit torch across the arm of the employee that was welding. This caused a second degree burn on the employee's upper left forearm about two inches in diameter.
