Narrative

Employee was taking his glove off to eat lunch. His glove got caught on an inner latex glove worn to prevent chafing. When the glove caught, it jarred his hand into a stack of roof plates causing a laceration on the back of his left hand. The laceration was deep enough for 3 sutures. Note: the employee did finish his regular shift and then went to doctor.
