Narrative

Two employees were carrying a section of drill casing to a drill rig by hand. One of the employees slipped in the muddy conditions and dropped his end of the pipe. This put strain on the other employee all of the sudden and he stated that he experienced pain in his lower right back area and his upper left shoulder area.
