Narrative

EE was trying to position a movable conveyor belt to the west in the storage hall building. Once positioned, the conveyor belt moved to the east on its own. EE put down a steel wheel brake on the conveyor rail to stop the conveyor belt. When the EE reached over an I-beam to place the steel wheel brake on the rail, he felt something pull in his back.
