## Narrative

The EE had just finished changing the blade on his utility knife. As he attempted to close the knife it became stuck due to the build-up of soda ash, and the EE's thumb slipped from its hold on the handle and slid across the blade. The EE was seen by on-site first aid, and then taken to the clinic where he received 4 stitches, no prescriptions, and no lost time or restrictions.
