Narrative

On June 13, 2017, an employee was performing preventive maintenance on an HVAC unit. The employee had loosened the screws from the access panel cover to the air handler and began to wiggle the panel in an attempt to lift it. The cover gave way and struck the employee's left arm, severely lacerating it.
