## Narrative

At the chip stacker headpulley area, the employee was welding a wiper assembly in place.  He was standing inside the transfer box. He had taken off his gloves and continued to work.  As he tried to reposition himself, he grabbed both sides of the box and struck his left thumb against a burr on the top of the box.  This caused him to cease work and contact his supervisor.
