Narrative

The EE was closing coupling covers on a dragline swingcase. He bent down to close one when he became dizzy and fell from the case, bumping his head and separating his right shoulder. The ER doctor determined his dizziness was from sinusitis. CT scans were negative. He had surgery to repair his right shoulder. *A 5% whole person impairment rating was issued.
