## Narrative

The miner was kneeling on the ground using a sheet rock knife to cut a piece of new skirt board rubber. The blade slipped along the rubber striking the front of his right thigh causing a cut, which required four sutures to close. The next morning, we disccused what would have prevented the accident and what he could have done to protect himself against being cut.
