Narrative

Employee was cutting a ACSR cable with a band saw. EE was holding the cable in EE's left hand, saw in the right. After the cut was made, the blade stopped and came to a rest on top of EE's left hand, causing a cut requiring four stitches. The employee finished EE's shift after the cut, got the stitches and returned for work at the normal starting time the next day.
