Narrative

EE didn't have a belt to hold up EE's FR work pants, so EE used zip ties through EE's belt loops as a makeshift belt. At the end of EE's shift, the EE grabbed a utility knife to cut the zip ties from EE's belt loops, the knife slipped and the EE cut the palm and thumb of EE's left hand. this resulted in stitches.
