## Narrative

Employee had stepped on top of a covered duct near the fan turbine shaft near an overhead metal grating. EE reached up to hold the edge of the metal grating to step down slipping backwards catching wedding band on a 1/8"" tip of metal that was on the grating. The ring due to the downward force created an avulsion type wound to left ring finger. This resulted in stitches.
