Narrative

An employee was cutting carbon steel metal on a lathe machine. A metal shaving from the cut coiled up and fell into the tee, a fitting used to connect pipe. The material is on a rotating part. A portion of the metal shaving was pushed out of the tee and struck the employee's upper leg above the knee and lacerated it.
