## Narrative

Stated:  The employee was removing a nail holding the end of the belt to the roll.  While using one hammer to drive the claw end of another hammer behind the nail head, a sliver of metal flew into his right arm.  The puncture wound was the size of the head of a #2 pencil.  The doctor at the hospital cut the skin to access the metal and this laceration required 4 sutures to close.
