## Narrative

EE was removing a shipping strap from the mateline of a multi section building.  EE cut the strap from inside of the building using metal shears. When he cut the strap with his left hand, it fell down and hit his right hand. He had gloves on but were not fully leather or Kevlar, therefore, failed to prevent the strap from cutting his hand.
