## Narrative

The employee was simply walking through the Maintenance Shop holding a box cutter they had just got out of the vending machine. Upon inspection of the box cutter, they noticed a foreign object (possibly glue) on the blade. They proceeded to wipe the blade off on their left sleeve, when they cut/punctured their wrist area.
