Narrative

Employee was unplugging scoop battery bell when cable arched. He turned to leave the area (a normal movement) and twisted his knee. He finished his shift with no complaints, and came outside. Due to a reconstructive knee surgery from a earlier injury, he requested a report be filled out for precautionary measures.
