Narrative

The employee was setting the grizzly beams in ore bin #2. His knee was rested on the toe kick. He felt his knee cap shift and pop. This resulted in a torn meniscus and strep infection. The medical paperwork was received by Atkinson on 7-19-12. Atkinson questions whether this was a result of the incident at work.
