## Narrative

The employee was kneeling on EE's right knee at the secondary crusher and using a box knife EE was cutting conveyor belt material toward self. As EE neared completion of the cut, the knife slipped out of the rubber and traveled into EE's right mid-thigh, causing a puncture wound. This resulted in needing two stitches to the laceration.
