Narrative

Employee was resetting calibration limits on the 8750-1 dragline drum for a re-socket. When done, he was walking back to his work truck and twisted his left ankle on the ground transition from compact to soft and rock material beneath him. He refused Mine clinic treatment but went to the hospital later that night, where they diagnosed a sprained ankle.
