Narrative

The employee opened a man-door leading into the shop area. After stepping through the man-door the employee had his hand resting on the door frame while he attempted to unlatch the large shop door. The man-door swung shut and pinched his hand between the door and frame. This caused a laceration on the ring finger of the right hand requiring sutures.
