## Narrative

On 06/03/2015, around 2:00 P.M., an employee was wearing rubber gloves while handling adhesives in the facility. The employee finished handling the adhesives and went to cut metal pipe banding. As the metal banding was cut, it retracted to the floor and bounced up, cutting the employee at the knuckle on the right middle finger. Company-provided leather gloves were not worn at the time of the incident. The employee was later hospitalized for a possible infection and received antibiotics.
