Narrative

While two employees were lifting a 1 inch thick sawed slab onto a saw table for further fabrication, one of them felt a pull in his lower back. He reported the injury the next day, but did not feel he needed to go to the doctor. The next work day it was still bothering him, so we sent him to the doctor, who diagnosed the injury as a lower back sprain.
