On September 1st 2022 I was notified by our office that an employee had reported being injured at work. The employee had been off work since July 26th 2022 with a kidney infection. EE first stated that they had injured their back when pulling bags. Then stated that they did it while changing a roller on a conveyor. No time or date was given on either event.
EE was standing on top of a conveyor. He slipped and began to slide down the conveyor on his back. As he was sliding down the conveyor, he tried to slow down the conveyor, he tried to slow his descent by putting his right foot up to brace himself on a metal wind strap. When his foot hit the wind strap, it broke his ankle and he continued sliding.
