Narrative

An employee was removing a sheet of glass from a glass cutting machine's table and putting it onto a cart. The glass struck the cart and shattered, sending a shard of glass into the top portion of the employee's cut resistant sleeve on the left arm, causing a laceration to the forearm. The employee was hospitalized and required surgery for an artery.
