Narrative

Two electricians were installing new fluorescent lighting into suspended ceiling gridwork. The injured worker was standing on the floor after handing a light assembly to the second electrician who was on a stepladder. In trying to maneuver the assembly, the light fell. A corner of the light struck the injured employee and caused a laceration of the right, inside forearm.
