Narrative

Employee was in the stone silo to clear a feeder choke in CR5. Upon exiting the silo door, the employee fell to the ground coming down on his right knee. His knee hit the containment berm surrounding the door, an area which was muddy. This was reported as a First Aid but the level of follow-up treatment elevated this to a Medical, explaining the delay in reporting.
