## Narrative

Employee was dropping bolt machine cable. The employee unhooked one side of the nylon hanger to let the cable drop. The weight of the cable spun the hanger around. The metal hook (on the hanger) hooked into the frame of safety glasses and the hook slid up the face cutting the bottom eyelid. It took 6-8 stitches to close the wound.
