Narrative

An employee was kneeling on the floor, using a hand grinder with a wire wheel to remove paint from a post. The drawstring of the employee's sweatshirt became caught in the wire, which pulled the wheel toward the employee. The wire wheel struck the right side of the employee's face and neck, severely lacerating the neck and injuring the right side of the jaw.
