Miner was fixing a faulty door that would not stay shut in the scale house. Miner was using a utility knife to cut wooden shims. The knife slipped off the shim and lacerated miner's inner thigh. Conditions in the scale house were a controlled environment. The cut received 10 stitches to close, and the miner came back to work on the same day for normal duties.
