Narrative

The worker was in the process of picking up metal banding in the liner yard. The worker grabbed a piece of banding with both hands and tossed it to the side. As he did this, the edge of the banding contacted the top of his left hand, at the base of the thumb. This resulted in a laceration requiring 4 sutures to close. The worker was not wearing gloves as required.
