Narrative

While performing track wrapping on the #402 Shovel, a piece of metal sheared off from the roller assembly when it contacted the track chain. The fragment struck the maintenance technician on the forearm, causing a 2-inch laceration. The metal was removed from the arm and the employee was transported to a local medical facility to close the wound with stitches.
