Narrative

EE was fixing an electrical control wire for the manlift on the BTI powder truck. EE dropped an electrical connector to the ground & crouched down to retrieve it. When he stood up his knee popped. Initial diagnosis was torn cartilage. MRI later revealed a torn miniscus. EE continued to work until 06/28/10 when he had surgery. EE returned to light duty on 06/29/10.
