SLIP OR FALL OF PERSON
Victor Oolitic Stone Company · Over-exertion (Not Elsewhere Classified)
The employee was crossing a steel saw track when he slipped and twisted his knee. At that time, the employee complained of pain but did not see the need to go to the doctor. Ultimately, the pain did not subside and the employee went to the doctor. After a couple visits an MRI was done which showed a torn ligament in his right knee.

The employee's position requires repeated swinging of an 8 pound sledge hammer, which apparently caused the injury.
