Narrative

Cutting hole in mine belt for winch cable, the knife blade broke. When the blade broke my left hand went forward cutting it on the broken blade left in the mine belt. PPE was not a factor, compliance rules/regs were not a factor, mining equipment/sytems was not a factor, miner proficiency was a factor.
