An investigation records a left-arm injury while an employee erected temporary scaffold handrails around a deck hatch. His jacket caught on a bolt as he stepped over a rail, and his unsuccessful attempt to grasp the handrail hyperextended his arm. He was placed on restricted duty; the district made no recommendations.
