Narrative

While digging out material that backed up in crusher II, employee had to reach down with his left hand to pull rocks, transfer rocks into the right hand & reach up to pass the rocks out of the crusher. Due to the high wall of the crusher, it made it difficult for employee to position himself without stretching and twisting repetitively, causing strain to his back, neck & shoulder.
