Narrative

While installing conduit, a fabricator fell approximately 6ft when the board he was standing on shifted. While the fabricator initially reported no injury, the next day he felt soreness in his back and was sent to the occupational health clinic. He was found to have severely pulled some muscles in his lower back. He was subsequently placed on light duty and returned to work.
