Narrative

Employee was fabricating a steel chute performing cutting, welding, and grinding activities. The employee was in the chute squatting or kneeling for most of the shift except to stop for breaks. There was no one event that caused the injury, it seems to be from cumulative work throughout the day. His knee did not start to swell and become painful for a few days over the weekend.
