Abstract: At 1:15 p.m. on April 20, 2021, an employee was working as a yard helper for a metal fabricator. The employee is a full-time employee of the employer. The employee and Coworker #1 were working in the yard loading 24-gauge 4-foot by 8-foot steel sheets onto a customer's truck. Moving the metal sheets required removing them from shelving that was approximately 6 feet off the ground. The employee and Coworker #1 were both wearing gloves with a cuff slightly above their wrists while moving the sheets one at a time. As they pulled the fourth sheet off the shelf, the edge struck the employee on his unprotected right forearm. Upon noticing the cut, Coworker #1 assisted the employee with controlling the bleeding and notified Coworker #2, their supervisor. Coworker #2 drove the employee to the company's clinic. The clinic transferred the employee to the medical center, where he was hospitalized and underwent surgery for his lacerated arm.
