Narrative

The injured employee was using a tool to help guide a new drag chain into place. A rough terrain fork truck was also slowly pulling the chain to align it with the next segment. The tool slipped from the employee's hands striking the left side shield on his safety glasses causing a laceration above his left eye requiring five sutures.
