Narrative

The employee was working on the outside of a hopper that became jammed with material. He was using a pry bar to clear material from the hopper (were it discharges onto a belt). The employee had the bar resting on his shoulder using his legs for power. Later in the day a pain developed and continued to get worse. He went to the local E.R. & was diagnosed with tendonitis/strain.
