Narrative

The employee was inside a screen cutting a piece of rubber. The rubber was resting upon the employee's leg while making the cuts. On the 4th cut, the employee slipped and cut his leg with the utility knife. The condition contributing to the accident was the body positioning (lying down) inside a screen which is a tight area to work.
