Narrative

Employee was on ground when a hoist began lifting a screen cloth up to the screen. The cloth became detached from the lifting hook and bounced around when it struck the ground. It hit the employee's hand. It barely made a mark and the employee worked the rest of the week. Over the weekend EE went to the ER and was told EE had a broken bone in left hand.
