Narrative

Employee was assigned to clean up oil spillage near the block press. While applying oil to the dry floor, he slipped and grabbed a stack of pallets with his left hand to avoid falling to the ground level. Later in the shift he observed a knot that formed on his left wrist as a result of grabbing the pallets.
