## Narrative

The contractor could not line up the track bolts and used a 10-lb sledgehammer to relieve pressure on the links.  When striking the track pin, a metal fragment from the pin sheared off penetrating contractor's left upper thigh requiring a tourniquet.  Emergency medical services transported contractor to an ER for treatment.  Contractor was released several hours later.
