## Narrative

While rotating the dryer to remove a spring, the employee stopped the pipe threader but the dryer kept spinning.  The employee went to check to see why it was spinning on its own and the handle of the pipe threader struck him on the right side of his hard hat causing a laceration to his brow.  The employee received sutures to close the wound and was given a full work release.
