Narrative

Employee stated EE was manually scaling with a bar and EE's left wrist became painful and swollen. EE was sent to doctor locally and remained on full duty. EE's wrist became more swollen and was sent to a specialist on 02/24/2017 and the specialist placed EE on light duty. We could not accommodate light duty so EE is currently missing time as of 02/25/2017.
