## Narrative

While in the process of releasing the tension on a fixed mounted barge winch on barge hmt-408, the ratchet handle of the winch ""kicked"" toward the employee. The sudden movement of the handle caused a muscle strain in the employee's right shoulder. The employee visited an emergency room where he was given a muscle relaxer.
