Narrative

At the time of the incident the technician was moving a workbench in order to clean under it. As the tech was pushing on the bench one of its wheels dropped into a divot in the floor. As he pushed harder to dislodge the wheel his left foot slipped on some oil causing him to fall against the bench and twist his back.
