Narrative

Two employees were opening the hood of a dump truck. One of the employees stepped to the front of the truck to prevent the hood from moving too far forward and breaking the hinges of the hood. EE ended up taking the weight of the hood and this resulted in a small tear in EE's right bicep. EE is under lifting restrictions until an orthopedic appointment.
