## Narrative

The employee was cutting out a plastic backing plate for a wet location electrical box. He held the plate in his left hand while using a utility knife with his right hand to cut out the tabs. The knife cut through the plastic tab and continued down and away from his body but contacted the tip of his left index finger all in one motion. The laceration needed four stitches to close.
