Narrative

An Ironworker was using an adjustable wrench to turn castle nuts on the ends of traveling grate rods for the purpose of installing cotter pins. The wrench they were using slipped off one of the nuts and the palm of left hand struck a cotter pin on a nearby grate rod resulting in a laceration of the EE's palm and requiring sutures to close the wound.
