Narrative

The shift supervisor went to the iron feeder and noticed that it was clogged and raw material mixed with cement. Then the shift supervisor and the shift mechanic started to hit the material with a spear to break material formations and began to go down. They used a hammer and the spear together. After these work the supervisor began to feel discomfort in his left shoulder.
