Narrative

3 MTMs were helping Door Service Inc. employee prep garage door for installation of a tracking bar. The crew attempted to unroll the overhead door material but found the door was too heavy to be unrolled. The injured employee heard three pops in their right arm while unrolling the material. This became a recordable case on 2/21/19 when we were notified employee needed surgery.
