## Narrative

EE was working on the number one dryer replacing the thrust idler. He was repositioning the old idler on the base for removal when he felt pain in his left shoulder. He was not using excessive force in the move because graphite was on the base acting as a lubricant allowing it to slide easily. The dryer was locked/tagged out and was jacked up hill and blocked against motion.
