Narrative

Employee and co-worker were working on the #7A & 7B Syngyp Screws. As they removed the cover for the screw, EE felt a pain in his lower back. EE was pulling and lifting the cover at the upper end with his right hand. Co-worker was lifting and pushing the cover from the lower end. The cover hung so EE tugged on it to loosen it from the screw trough.
