Narrative

Coworker was walking holding a circular saw. Extension cord got hung up on something, so he gave it a tug. In doing so he bumped into EE & accidentally squeezed the trigger on the saw. EE was startled & jumped. EE's hand contacted the saw blade and his right middle & ring fingers were lacerated, requiring medical attention (stitches).
