Narrative

A shop attendant was securing an access ladder to an engine area after he had washed the area for a PM. He was in the process of pinning the ladder up. He released his grasp on the ladder to grab the pin. The ladder swung down and lacerated his right ear lobe. The laceration required 7 sutures to close the wound.
