## Narrative

EE noticed the forklift EE was operating was running low on propane, so EE decided to replace the almost empty propane cylinder. As EE was putting the empty propane cylinder in the slot, EE's right ring finger was caught in between two propane cylinders and felt a sharp pain on EE's finger. EE ended up with a deep laceration on EE's right ring finger.
