Narrative

On 2/22/22 the employee was using an air lance to clean a chute. In the process, EE hit a frozen chunk of material that was hidden behind non-frozen build-up. This caused a strain in EE's right shoulder from the jamming of the lance into the build-up. On 3/2/22 EE was placed on restricted duty for lifting capacity.
