## Narrative

EE was on top of loader bucket doing his mid-day greasing of bucket cylinders. A shot was set off; he turned to see where rocks were going. He lost his balance and fell to the ground, bruising his left knee. He returned to work the same day (after seeing physician) and worked the next day, leaving early due to pain. He reported to the ER over the weekend for lower back pain.
