Narrative

While harvesting the #11 cell, one of the anodes had two pieces of copper stuck to it. As the employee was attempting to dislodge the second piece of copper, the anode tipped over knocking the employee to the floor. As a result, the anode contacted the right arm of the employee causing a second degree burn.
