Narrative

At approximately 7:05 AM, a crew was transferring buckets of concrete cure and seal to a new pallet due to damage on the original. One bucket had leaked and adhered to its cardboard base. After failed removal attempts, a utility knife was used to cut around it. During the cut, the blade slipped and struck a worker's leg above the knee.
