Narrative

EE removed & cut a door spring with a torch. EE was using a chisel & hammer to remove slag to free the spring. Injured EE was standing behind the EE when a sliver of slag flew off striking the injured EE in the face. Removing the sliver required opening the wound that then needed two stitches to close. EE was released to return to work performing his normal duties.
