Narrative

Employee states he was performing a flow test on a fire hydrant and the valve was stuck. As he applied more force on the spanner wrench, the valve broke loose and the wrench spun in an uncontrolled manner allowing his hand to contact the metal ID tag affixed to the hydrant resulting in a laceration that required sutures.
