Narrative

The employee was attempting to cut metal strap from a bundle of angle iron with a pair of pliers. When the strap broke it sprung open and caught EE's opposite gloved hand which EE was using to hold the bundle. The strap caught EE's left ring finger causing a laceration which required sutures to treat.
