## Narrative

Mill Mechanic was lying down on a concrete floor and reaching through an opening while pulling on an 18"" pipe wrench with his right arm. He was trying to break loose a rusted pipe fitting on the bottom of the air receiver tank. Between the awkward position and the force required to break loose the fitting he suffered an injury to his shoulder.
