Narrative

Operator was climbing an extension ladder to secure it when it slipped; the operator remained on the ladder while it slid downward, injuring his right wrist. The employee reported it as a near miss and refused medical treatment, but yesterday afternoon we received a call for Workers Comp information so he is now claiming it is a work related injury.
