## Narrative

IE was adjusting a fan in the surface shop to direct air towards where EE was working to help keep EE cooler. The IE grabbed a hold of the side of the guard which surrounds the fan to swivel it, one of the fan blades came in contact with the guard causing a piece of the fan blade to break off, causing a portion of the fan blade to go through EE's glove into the palm of EE's hand.
