Narrative

Two employees were lifting an estimated 100lb mini-power zone from the back of a flatbed truck. One of the employees hand slipped from its holding position, causing the edge of the mini-power zone to strike EE's right thigh. This resulted in a laceration to the employees right thigh which required 16 sutures.
