Narrative

It was the end of the shift and the victim was rock dusting and hanging canvas in the face areas. A roof mat/steel strap that had been previously installed was torn and protruding from the roof somewhat. The victim did not see the strap and came in contact with it lacerating his face below his left eye. The cut required eleven stitches to close.
