## Narrative

Associate was replacing some rubber with a safety knife. As the associate was scoring the bucking rubber the safety knife kept getting stuck. They squeezed the handle 3 more times, & on the 3rd attempt the blade popped out and was too close to their inner thigh causing the blade to cut through pants leaving a ¾ of an inch cut in their thigh.
