Narrative

A crew member was using a 5"" Dewalt grinder to cut off excess angle from a mid rail. The employee was holding the angle with his left hand and grinder in right. There was no handle on the grinder and when it got in a bind it jumped into the employee standing one step down, striking him in the Left Arm just below the elbow.
