Narrative

The employee was making a cable splice and started to crimp the burndy clamp. He was using a splice knocker to crimp the sleeves. When he struck the knocker, a piece of metal chipped off and went into his hand. The employee thought that he removed the metal but went to the doctor on 1-13-14 and underwent surgery to have it removed.
