While on ground level, the EE reached into an excavator for a hoodie, lost footing, and grabbed the handrail, injuring their left elbow. Sought treatment the same day and returned to work with restrictions that did not affect regular job duties. An 08/15/25 MRI showed a left triceps rupture requiring surgery. No equipment, compliance, training, or PPE issues were involved.
