Narrative

Ee was cutting radiator hose. He was using a knife that was inadequate for the job & was also cutting toward his body. Another factor that led to the accident was that his hands were also slightly oily. The knife slipped while cutting the hose & struck the ee in the leg causing a small laceration which required three stitches.
