Narrative

Employees were pulling bags off cages in a baghouse with hooks when one employee's hook slipped and hit the other employee in the elbow. The Supervisor treated it with basic first aid. Several days later, the employee experienced swelling in his arm. We sent the employee to a doctor who prescriped anti-inflammatory drugs.
