## Narrative

A qualified surface electrician was working inside of an electrical cabinet to close a hole temporarily until the cabinet could be replaced. EE took out a utility knife to cut a piece of plastic. While EE was making the cut, the blade slipped,  slicing through the tip of EE's left thumb. The employee was taken to the local ER, where sutures were added to close the laceration.
