EE was cutting a conveyor belt for a splice with a razor knife. At the end of the cut the knife slipped off the belt and contacted his knee, it made a small cut but due to the depth of the cut we decided he should o to Urgent care. We cleaned the cut and applied gauze & took him to Urgent Care where he received three stitches. He returned to work the next day.
