Narrative

An employee experienced an incident while using a ratchet that became increasingly difficult to turn. During this process, the employee felt a pop in their right bicep. Following the incident, the employee was evaluated and was returned to work within their job class. However, the employee is now scheduled for surgical repair, which triggered reportability.
