Narrative

EE became fatigued using his right hand to cut strips in lagging on pulley. Switched to his left hand and shortly after slipped and poked himself in the left thigh just above the knee. He sustained a 3/8"" cut that was managed with first aid. After his shift he went to the dr for a Tetanus shot and was convinced that he need stitches to prevent infection. Reportable injury.
