Narrative

IE was beveling edges on a metal plate when the air grinder he was using started slowing down. The IE added oil to the grinder and was pointing the grinder at the floor, exhausting the excess oil from the end of the grinder. At that time the grinding wheel came apart striking IE in the left leg. He received 6 sutures to close the wound.
