## Narrative

EE was cutting an airline on a Microsizer project.  He laid his utility knife down without closing it.  When he flipped the hose around to straighten it, he ran his left hand into the open utility knife, cutting his hand.  This required 4 stitches.  He returned to work the same afternoon.
