Narrative

The employee was inside the onsite job trailer retrieving tools when EE tripped and fell forward. Trying to catch EE's fall, EE caught EE's hand on an old plastic bucket that shattered with EE's weight and force, resulting in a laceration of the right hand requiring several stitches. EE was released to full duty the same day.
