Narrative

Two employees were putting a brake drum on a drive axle of a dump truck. One employee picked drum up, turned it around on a table so it would face axle hub. He picked it up and turned around, bent over to place drum on hub and let out a cry. He was put on a stretcher and sent to hospital. He suffered a herniated disc in his back.
