## Narrative

The need arose to switch from synthetic gypsum to additives. The gate failed to open so the injured employee attempted to open the gate manually. He used a piece of angle iron approximately 3 feet long (weighing approximately 4 pounds) to pry the gate open. The angle iron slipped from the gate suddenly. The employee immediately began to feel pain in his back and right shoulder.
