What happened

n the day prior to the injury CRRP high voltage electrician had to walk up a steep embankment in order to retrieve the ATV to transport water to the attendees of the [REDACTED] fishing event. On the day of the injury the electrician was assisting with anchoring a walkway light. During this task he was kneeling on the ground using kneeling pads for support. When the electrician completed the task and attempted to stand up the electrician then used the light fixture to help balance myself and relied primarily on my right leg to push myself up. Immediately upon standing the electrician experienced pain in both my right knee and right ankle. As the day progressed the discomfort in my ankle became more pronounced than the pain in my knee. By the time the electrician went home at the end of the day the pain in my ankle had significantly increased.
