Narrative

EE was running the M200 bag station and was also training a new employee on the bagging process. EE had placed about 12 bags on the pallet and was up to layer #5 of the pallet when he felt a sharp pain in his chest just below his sternum. (Note the bags weigh 50 lbs. each). (Physician's diagnosis was back strain.)
