Narrative

After dumping dumpster, EE tried to 'kick' an empty container into the dumpster, but when he went to kick it, it was frozen to the ground. This action injured left foot due to container not moving when he kicked it. He later had the foot x-rayed & it was determined that there was a small fracture to the big toe, thus constituting MSHA reportability. (Positive diagnostic xray)
