## Narrative

The employee was tearing old 1 1/2"" conduit off the ceiling of the load out tunnel, after cutting the conduit into pieces he went back to cut the straps that were securing the conduit. When he cut the first strap, the conduit fell, bounced off the conveyor belt and cut his forehead above the left eye. This resulted in a 3in laceration that required 27 stitches to close.
