Narrative

While scaling, loose material fell from the hanging wall and landed on the scaling bar. The scaling bar was pulled from the EE's hand causing the EE's arm to get pushed back and twist. This resulted in a torn ligament in the left bicep. The EE was placed on restricted duty by the physician.
