Narrative

EE was pulling a new replacemet beam for the Coal Vibrator using a come-a-long. The new beam was suspended from the monorail overhead. As he was positioning the beam laterally, the wheels encountered some resistance to rolling. As he manipulated the come-a-long hoist, the resistance was overcome & necessary pressure changed causing EE to twist & hurt shoulder. Missing work 7/14/10.
