Narrative

Stated: Employee was opening mandoor between neutral and intake. The handle was stuck so he hit the handle with his right palm. After the 3rd strike, the latch gave way. He raked the outside of the little finger on his right hand across a burr where the round stock had been cut to make the handle. He lacerated his finger requiring 10 sutures to close. He remains off work.
