welding

EE alleges [REDACTED] he was done working on a fabric container so he went to move the container to another table when one of his coworkers went between him and the table he tried to avoid hitting him so he put his hand up causing his right hand wrist to be bent backwards resulting in pain. EE denies bone joint deformity or complete loss of feeling in extremity. EE states he cannot touch the top of his shoulder. This event took place at the side wall assembly table. EE along with two others went to push the completed side wall from one table to the next on a set of conveyor rollers. EE #2 was walking in a walkway between the two tables. EE pulled back on the side wall to stop it from motion. In doing this the EE hurt his right arm. Management was notified right away.
