The assembler was detailing a def tank using a de-flashing tool to trim parting lines and inspect for quality issues. As this is a regular occurrence she described symptoms of carpel tunnel syndrome and was sent for treatment.

The assembler believes the pain in her wrist is from repeatedly de-flashing parts as this is a normal part of the processing requirements for the DTNA line.

Assembler was diagnosed with existing neuropathy and placed on restrictions. She was instructed to wear a brace as needed and ice.

She was using the green handled de-flashing tool that causes her neuropathy to flare up over several days.
