Narrative

Two E/I Technicians were re-installing the motor leads to the # 4 primary log. They hoisted the j-box into place and secured it. They then rigged the hoist to the 90 degree conduit fitting and were in the process of returning it to the support bracket when the employee attempted to roll the fitting into place and felt a pop in his right elbow.
