EE was organizing a storage trailer. He was cutting open boxes with a utility knife. He set the utility knife in an open box on a shelf in order to reach for another box. While he was reaching for another box, he bumped into the original box and the knife. The box and the knife hit his left leg and gave him a laceration.
