Employee's wrist lacerated against edge of sheet metal

On May 2, 2000, Employee #1, a regular worker at a company that fabricated and installed sheet metal, and a coworker were removing a large piece of sheet metal plating from a storage area that had numerous pieces of sheet metal stacked together. As they pulled on the sheet metal, it started to move and then became stuck. Employee #1's right hand was moving forward and, when the sheet become stuck, he could not stop his hand's forward movement.
