Narrative

Employee was assisting with cutting strips of conveyor belt. He knelt down and positioned himself such that the utility knife would be cutting towards him. The utility knife hung up on the belting as he was cutting and so he put more force to dislodge the knife and as he did it broke free and the employee stabbed himself in the leg.
