## Narrative

EE was in the shop working on a spray bar. He was installing a spray nozzle(approx. 3/4"" x 11/2"" long) into a 2"" pipe. The wrench he was using to thread the nozzle into the pipe slipped off, causing him to twist his back. At the emergency room, he received an injection for the pain.
