Narrative

Employee was at the tenth section of staves on the silo. An existing structure did not allow the employee full access to the scaffolding. While the employee was installing bolts on the chime, he overshot his swing causing him to lose his balance and fall forward. When retracting back, he caught his arm on the corner of the stave lacerating his left forearm.
