Narrative

The employee was dismounting a lube truck using three points of contact. EE's foot slipped off the step and EE rolled EE's ankle. EE was seen by ER for evaluation. EE returned to full duty for several weeks. EE's ankle began bothering EE again and an MRI was ordered. The MRI revealed a torn ligament and the employee began missing time on 8/4/20, making this incident reportable.
