## Narrative

Employees were backfilling a lining overlay.  SOS employees were waiting to complete their backfilling when the wind from a passing thunderstorm picked up and began to move the liner.  Our employees ran across the liner to help and were thrown 50 feet into the air by the liner.  Two SOS employees were injured.
