Narrative

EE helped two workers lift a 4x8 screw lid back on top of its housing at Silo 17 Screw Floor. EE and workers lifted the lid onto the housing and began to push it into place when they heard a pop and felt slight pain in left shoulder. EE asked to see a doctor after pain persisted for 10 days. EE had surgery on 09/02/25 to correct a torn rotator cuff and bicep tendon.
