Narrative

Employee was changing a v-belt. He used a utility knife to cut the belt and cut toward his body instead of away. He lacerated the underside of his left arm by the elbow. This was a superficial laceration, too shallow for sutures, but two steri-strips were used. He did not need medication or a follow-up medical appointment, but this is reportable by definition.
