## Narrative

EE our Lab technician was removing sampling trays from the Gilson shaker.  She did not have a firm grip on the tray and it came back towards the top of her right knee.  The tray hit this area resulting in swelling and pain.  She tried ice it but it was still  swollen and it was hard to walk on.
