Narrative

Moving a charging carousel for batteries, ee was using a forklift to lift a hinged structure known as a wing plate. A small piece of metal had become lodged in the wing plate's hinge. When the plate was lifted, metal was subjected to a significant amount of force which caused it to be projected toward the employee at high velocity, striking the ee in the cheek.
