Narrative

While welding, a hot piece of slag burnt through EE's glove and burnt his hand. He took his glove off and the skin where he was burnt came off. The burn is on his right hand on his pinky knuckle and his ring finger knuckle and is about 1"" long and 1/2"" wide. He went to the first aid room and cleaned the burn, put on antiseptic, and dressed the burn.
