Narrative

KMC cautiously reports this as a workplace accident. Employee informed supervisor on 8/9/24 of an earlier, offsite arm injury. Later, EE reported the accident below, saying the two injuries were separate. Employee lunged for wiring harness that was falling off a box. EEs right forearm struck the wooden box (EE thought it was cardboard box) hard enough to create hairline ulna crack.
