## Narrative

While removing a piece of wall plate from the cooler, the employee was guiding it down by hand. As the plate was coming down, the bottom V anchor caught on the cooler panel below the sheeting. This caused the weight of the piece to load on the V anchor. The anchor sprung the sheeting forward, striking the employee on the wrist area causing a laceration.
