## Narrative

An operator sustained a laceration to his left thigh that required sutures to close the wound. The injured miner was kneeling on the ground attempting to cut larger slots in a skirt board rubber. While cutting across the top part of the slots the razor knife got hung up. When more force was applied he lost control of the knife causing it to strike him in the upper left thigh.
