Fall onto or against objects

EE was cleaning out the hopper. EE slipped on the belt, causing EE to fall on a corner that was steel. This cut EE's shin. Thought nothing of it at the time, cleaned it, antibiotic ointment, and thought that would be all. 5 days later EE's leg began to hurt, EE went to the doctor, & found out the leg had been infected. This led to further treatment which involved time off.
