Narrative

Employee was cleaning dirt, oil, and grease from a retainer cap. After removing all the debris, they ran their hand over the cap's surface. As the employee placed their hand on the cap, a small metal burr protruded from a bolt hole. The bur poked the employee in the hand, and they jerked it back, causing a laceration to their palm requiring three sutures to close the wound.
