GP Industrial Plasters LLC · Struck by... (Not Elsewhere Classified)

The EE was using a skid steer to carry materials through a curtain. The curtain was raised manually. As EE passed through the machine nicked the bottom of the curtain causing it to drop. The weighted PVC bar on the bottom of the curtain struck EE's safety glasses on the left side. The frame of the glasses caused a small laceration to EE's left eye lid. Five sutures were required.
