Employee's hand was pinched between a plate of steel and a block of wood resulting in a laceration approximately 2.5 cm that required stitches.

Employee was cutting peaned material from some boltholes, when slag blew back hitting him in the chest and going around his face shield and safety glasses. He reported feeling something in his right eye, went to a doctor and had an embedded object removed from his right eye.

Injured employee was helping change urathane screens when a coworker pounding wedges lost his grip on a hammer. The hammer struck the injured employee in the nose causing a nose bleed and immediate swelling. A follow up appointment with an Ear, Nose and Throat Specialist on 5/27/2008 determined as the swelling went down that there was a hairline fracture to the tip of his nose.
