Narrative

EE was on morning break and was retrieving her lunch box off of a wooden work table to RTW. EE is very short, so she stepped onto the bottom storage area of the work table so she could reach her lunch box, when doing so a wood splinter from the plywood top of the table entered her upper right leg.
