Narrative

After doing the preshift inspection, the employee was mounting the dozer. His feet slipped on the icy tracks. He fell towards the engine compartment. While catching himself, he jarred his right shoulder, experiencing pain. He has worked continually since, but underwent surgery on October 6, 2010 to try and alleviate the constant pain.
