Narrative

Worker was moving scrapped high bay luminaries from rear of storage trailer to front of trailer. He was stacking luminaries on top of each other & didn't use proper lifting techniques & used a twisting motion of his body reaching to pick up a luminaries. This aggravated a year old herniated disk injury. Later in the night he went to Emergency Room for first aid to relieve pain.
