Narrative

EE and a co-worker of maintenance department, were working trying to install a power shaft into a tube on a 41 inch workbench. Co-worker was at one end of the tube, guiding the shaft so it did not score the inside of the tube. EE inadvertently used his middle back, instead of his whole body as one motion, to push the shaft into the tube, thereby causing the injury.
