## Narrative

An employee was performing startup activities on a print line. The employee was scraping dry ink from the bottom of the doctor blade assembly with a putty knife. The back of her right hand came in contact with the doctor blade, which penetrated her cut-resistant work glove and caused a laceration injury to the back of her hand with damage to a tendon. The employee was hospitalized and required surgery.
