Narrative

An employee was repairing brakes calipers on a jeep. He was attempting to remove old allen head bolts with an allen socket and wrench. The wrench slipped out of position and the employee's elbow struck the top of the jeep's fender where there was a sharp edge of metal. The employee sustained a laceration above the elbow which required 3 stitches to close the wound.
