Narrative

While working with the powder crew getting ready for an afternoon shot, EE carried two powder bags (30 # each) placed it on the gound container floor. When he turned, his back started to hurt, his legs gave way and he fell to the floor. EE had a hard time standing up, so an ambulance was dispatched.
