Narrative

An employee was changing the injector pump on #11 forklift in the shop. He was utilizing a long handled 1/2"" drive ratchet to turn over the motor on the forklift to align the timing marks. He was standing on the balls of his feet, leaning into the forklift when he felt pain in his left calf muscle. He sustained a tear to the upper calf muscle and was placed on restrictive duty.
