Narrative

A contractor was bending a stamped roof bolt prior to installation. As the contractor pushed down on the roof bolt, it rolled in the contractor's tray causing wrist to hyperextend. X-rays later revealed a small chip fracture in left wrist. The contractor is expected to make a full recovery without surgery being required. The contractor began missing work on 4/7/2022.
