Employee was using a pipe wrench to turn a belt. The pipe wrench slipped causing him to lose balance & footing. While attempting to regain footing he hit his head (the back of head) on a ladder. This forced his hard hat up & cut the rear of his head. The cut was about 2 inches in length requiring staples at the doctor's office.
