Narrative

Injured worker was attempting to cut through a seam weld on existing geomembrane liner with a utility knife when the blade slipped loose from the liner and struck the top of the thumb on the opposite hand that was holding the knife. The hooked blade penetrated the worker's leather glove. Several sutures/stitches were required to close the wound.
