SOLOMON- An employee of Solomon Corp. suffered a hand injury after an industrial accident just after 12-noon on Friday.

Mike Dahl, corporate environmental and safety manager for the oilfield services business, said the employee was working on a transformer at the time of the accident.

“The lid came off the transformer and caused a minor injury to the employee’s hand,” said Dahl. The employee was transported to Salina Regional Medical Center and had the hand stitched up.

“We were lucky,” said Dahl.

The hospital released the injured employee on Friday afternoon.
