Narrative

Three EE's were installing a new crusher guard. They were using a come-a-long to pull the guard up and into place. The guard was sitting to far from center and was going to slide back. So the EE got behind the guard and gave it a shove to center it up. In the process of pushing, he felt severe pain in his lower back. MSHA lost time accident 1/28/08.
