## Narrative

The employee and co-worker were working at the Dredge Hold trying to remove an impeller.  He placed his left arm behind the pump housing unit in order to unhook a chain hoist when the pump housing suddenly shifted pinning the employee's forearm between a large inlet pipe and the pump housing.  This resulted in a bruised left forearm causing stiffness and swelling.
