Narrative

Employee caught his foot in the edge of the Admix Sump Pump. The sump hole had a small submersible pump that was barely keeping up with the inflow of water which caused a layer of water/mud to hide the adjusted grating. Employee's left foot slipped in hole; his momentum kept driving him forward twisting his ankle and applying pressure in the lower shin area.
