Narrative

Employee was using a grinder to cut a 12"" piece of angled steel, when the angle started to move he removed his left hand from the handle of the grinder and proceeded to use his hand to hold the angle in place instead of a vise or clamp. At this point the grinder got bound up causing the grinder to jump and hit the employee on his left hand/thumb area leaving a laceration.
