Narrative

Employee was working at removing a 150pd piece of metal from the dust chamber reject chute on kiln#1. Metal was too large to pass through the lower opening so a rope was tied to the metal & EE began pulling the metal up to the top opening when it became lodged. EE worked to dislodge the metal by manipulating the rope & strained his back.
