## Narrative

EE was splicing a blown waterhose when the band broke off in the banding machine. He got another bander and finished fixing the waterhose. He took out his channelocks and tried to pull the broken piece of band out of the machine. When the piece came out it struck his right thumb causing a laceration that needed 8 sutures. He had removed his gloves because they were wet & slippery.
