Narrative

The geologist was collecting drill hole samples on a quarry bench and did not see a rock and stepped on it causing ankle to twist. This employee filed a report at that time and thought it would be ok. After some time the discomfort returned and the employee went to visit the DR. and the subsequent modified duty was issued.
