Narrative

Employee was replacing a pulley on the primary crusher. He felt something ""pull"" in his upper right arm, but didn't think much about it. He had some swelling the 2nd day and it was still bothering him, so he notified the plant superintendent. He went to the med center and was diagnosed with 727.62 biceps tendon rupture. He is scheduled for an MRI at a later date.
