## Narrative

EE was using 1/2""drill, drilling out fluid bed dryer grid. Drill jammed, causing the drill and EE's R wrist to continue in a clockwise motion. Twisting caused wrist to rapidly go into strained position, causing wrist strain. Wrist was immobilized with a splint, thus constituting MSHA reportability.
