Narrative

Electrician walking between the back wall of the raw grind & a collector. In EE's path was a manhole covered with a circular cover constructed from expanded metal grating. When EE stepped on the cover, it tipped, causing EE to stumble. As EE stumbled, right forearm contacted the edge of the cover resulting in a puncture wound. EE's wound required two stitches to close.
