## Narrative

Employee was unloading a bundle of drill steel from the cage.  The bundle was place next to the rib with the forklift.  The bundle was not sitting square on the pallet, so the employee grabbed one end to move it closer to the rib.  As he lifted the bundle and began to push it toward the rib, he felt a pain in his shoulder.
