Narrative

It was a clear day, but cold. The employee was lifting a 2 3/8 screen wire to replace the existing screen when he twisted his back. When the employee realized that he may have hurt his back, he went to sit down and rest to eat lunch and sat on a small nail. Sitting on the nail made him jump and causing additional pain to the back. No lost time from work.
