Narrative

Employee was stepping up and out of the collection sand pan to go to lunch when he hit his left knee cap on a piece of stationary angle iron. His knee began to swell and it was decided that he should seek treatment/advise from his physician. After x-rays were taken, it appears that he may have chipped his knee cap.
