## Narrative

EE was replacing the protective wrap on an electrical cable on the sand dewatering screen. The wrap was secured to the cable with zip ties so EE used a Dewalt razor knife to cut the zip ties to remove the protective wrap. While attempting to cut one of the zip ties with the knife in right hand, the knife slipped and EE cut the back side of left hand. EE received 8 stitches.
