The EE is regularly a truck driver. On this day he was filling in to help the mechanic repair a piece of equipment. The EE was wearing required protective gear. He was laying on the ground to brace the ripper, they were attempting to put a pin in, a metal chip flew and pierced his right forearm. He was unaware of the injury until he saw the blood.
