Narrative

Two employees were pulling wire through a drop ceiling. The wire got stuck on something in the ceiling, then came loose as one of the employees was pulling on it. The slack caused him to lose his balance, and he grabbed the metal framing of the drop ceiling to avoid falling. The framing lacerated his right index, middle, and ring fingers, damaging a tendon in the middle finger.
