## Narrative

EE was hooking up a welding lead on the welding truck.  He looked down to step off of the concrete where his truck was parked, and then looked up as he was stepping.  As he looked up, he ran into a piece of angle iron that was placed on the truck that they planned to use on the job they were working on.  The angle iron hit him on the left side of his face, requiring 8 stitches.
