Narrative

The employee was using a utility knife to cut a cleaning rag to size when he was hit by a piece of roof. This either startled the employee or struck his arm resulting in him cutting his left forearm. The injury resulted in three sutures and a two week course of antibiotics. The employee returned to work on his next regularly scheduled shift.
