## Narrative

An employee was moving lower rail sections that were being handed out to him from the shovel from another employee. During this time one of the rails slipped in his hands and a piece of flow metal that was located on the lower rail section cut through his leather welding glove, and caused a laceration that required nine sutures to close.
