Narrative

EE entered the primary hopper to assist with dislodging a rock hung up in the grizzly bars at the jaw crusher. While EE's left foot was firmly planted and wedged into a tight location EE lost footing with EE's right foot, causing EE's left knee to twist. The employee was taken to a local clinic for evaluation where it was diagnosed as a strained MCL and torn meniscus ligament.
