## Narrative

While working with a hammer on metal machinery parts, an airborne metal splinter lacerated the employee's cheek. First aid measures were applied but after a few days it was determined that a piece of the shard remained in the wound. On 1/20/21 an outpatient procedure was performed to extract the shard, and the employee was released to work without restrictions.
