Narrative

Employee states he was moving a 55 gallon waste salt drum using a 3 wheeled barrel dolly. While moving the salt container, the car dolly encountered a damaged piece of flooring which caused the dolly to turn sharply in a different direction. When the barrel turned, his right foot contacted the barrel resulting in a twisting motion to his knee.
