Narrative

After installing a new floor for log washer chute, a two foot piece of angle iron was tack welded into place and needed to be removed. Tack was small and just needed to be wiggled to break loose. Employee wiggled and pulled back on the weld. When it broke free, the end of angle iron hit right cheek and caused a small laceration requiring two stitches.
