GRANTED. Grievant had been an Ohio State Highway Patrol Trooper for sixteen (16) years. On June 11, 1991, he fell and injured his right wrist while representing the Highway Patrol in a football game at the Annual Police Olympics. The Grievant returned to work on June 22, 1991, but was denied occupational injury leave (OIL) on the basis that the injury occurred during a voluntary, off duty event. On July 14, 1991, while on duty, the Grievant stopped to assist a motorist in changing an old, worn tire. While attempting to remove the rusted lug nuts, he injured his right wrist, forearm and elbow. Again he missed a number of days of work, returning on November 7, 1991. On July 18, 1991, Grievant had filed an application for OIL, but his request was denied. Grievant filed a Grievance dated September 3, 1991, requesting that the injury be approved as OIL. The second injury could have occurred regardless of the previous injury.
