## Narrative

Employee was removing old piping from the lead feed pumps. The section of pipe he was holding onto was on the other side of the handrail. This pipe needed to be raised so that his partner could finish cutting the hugger clamp off. When he raised the pipe, he heard a pop in his left calf. The pipe is ASB and does not weigh that much.
