Narrative

The mine had recently changed resin suppliers and new boxes are fully glued. The miner used a razor knife to open the end of the resin box. The miner steadied the box with his left hand while cutting toward it with the knife in his right hand. The blade exited the cardboard and cut the left hand. The miner was taken to a medical facility and received stitches.
