Narrative

EE was changing a bulb on the R-85 haul truck. There is a rubber grommet around the lens which needed to be removed. EE pulled out EE's pocket knife to cut the rubber. While EE was putting it away EE's pinky was caught in the pivot point of the serrated portion of the blade. This resulted in a cut on the outside of the left hand pinky from the nail around the finger pad.
