Narrative

Helping coworkers assemble FCT. Had been lifting conveyor flights across to a coworker as part of the assembly when he experienced pain to his low back region. Did not recall one specific flight that caused his pain, thinks repetition may have caused the muscle strain. Contacted the mine the following morning he was going to family Dr. his 1st day missed was 2/17/10.
