Narrative

Employee began feeling numbness and tingling in right arm. Initial cause was not determined. Medical treatment was sought and a prescription was given as treatment. After third party investigation, it was determined that the shoulder was most likely caused by repeatedly breaking chunks of frozen material to allow them to pass through the rotary dryer.
