Narrative

Re-installing the permanent wheel chocks to the north pad of the Code 80 fuel island. A metal shard on the pin head caught the latex glove on right middle finger. As they jerked their hand away a shard tore the skin on right middle finger. The laceration required 5 sutures to close the wound. The attendant was given a return to work with care to the injury the same day.
