Narrative

An employee was attempting to remove a sharp metal shaving from a pipe that was threaded using a pipe threader machine. When they pulled on the metal shaving, it did not separate from the pipe as expected, causing the sharp edge to lacerate their finger through their glove. The injured employee received 8 stitches to their index finger.
