## Narrative

Employee stated that the piece of steel had to come down for this repair to take place.  He then took a grinder so he could pull the metal down.  He was grinding from 3 to 5 seconds (at eyebrow level) on top of the old weld when the grinder hit his safety glasses and caused a laceration under his left eye.  He received 7 stitches.
