A mechanic was building a tail pulley guard and needed to trim some belting to fit properly. EE leaned against the side of the conveyor and started cutting excess material with EE's utility knife. EE was cutting away from self. EE's hand slipped causing the knife to come into contact with right index finger. This was just brought to my attention that this was MSHA, not OSHA.
