## Narrative

A subcontractor was using a home made tool to bend silo panel flanges during the installation of finished product storage silo walls.  The employee was pulling the tool towards himself and it slipped out of position.  The top edge of the tool handle struck him on the bottom of his safety glasses resulting in a laceration under his left eye that required six sutures.
