Riverside Refractories Inc · Over-exertion in wielding or throwing objects

The worker was loosening a nut at the slide gate on a hopper. The nut would not loosen at first, so the worker hit the wrench with is left hand to break the nut loose. When he hit the wrench a sharp pain went up his arm, which caused his lower left forearm tendon to become inflamed.
