Narrative

Employee was putting a driveline into a scraper; they had a chain come-along around the end to help push it into place and a 4X4 piece of wood between the come-along and the shaft. As the employee was cranking on the come-along, the wood slipped off and hit the employee in the nose, resulting in a laceration to EE's nostril.
