## Narrative

Contractor was told to plaster stoppings but had left his plastering gloves on the mantrip, which had already returned outside, so his boss informed him to plaster the stoppings with metacarpal gloves instead. Contractor later went to Raleigh General seeking medical attention, where he was told he had sustained first and second degree chemical burns to his hands and arms.
