Narrative

While grinding 6 inch angle iron to fit to an I-beam, an employee was on a step ladder with a foot on the I-beam. While losing his balance, attempting to grab something so he wouldn't fall, the grinder slipped hitting the back of his right hand causing 2 lacerations. He received 4 sutures and returned to work.
