Narrative

This incident occurred on the bottom deck of the VIC screens. This area is considered a confined space and has very limited means of entry and exit. The employee was working with three other employees to replace the screens in this area. The process of moving the screens involved the pushing and pulling of them into place. The screens weigh approximately 100 pounds each.
