Narrative

Employee was servicing a 5 LB fire extinguisher. He set it down near the edge of his work bench and the extinguisher started to fall. As he reached over to catch it there was a metal tag that was bent out on the side of the extinguisher. It cut his wrist which required 4 sutures to close the laceration.
