Narrative

EE was tasked with opening a lime chute slide gate. The gate was stuck and EE had to use a sledgehammer to work the slide back & forth to get it unstuck. While doing this EE's right wrist started to hurt. The pain continued for a few days when EE was treated @ the local Occ. Health for a wrist sprain. Dr. Rx modified duty, splint, and Rx meds.
