Narrative

EE was tying Corbel Rebar. As he reached into the Rebar cage he cut his left forearm on a piece of J-Bar. He was wearing hand protection (gloves). He was taken to a clinic & was returned to duty. 2 days later he quit to return to Calif. where he had another job offer & before he left town he visited a Dr. in Salt Lake & had sutures put on the cut. This was not relayed to Atkinson.
