## Narrative

The employee was lifting a skirt board back on to a conveyor system that was being worked on. The skirt board was stuck in the mud so the suction on the object made it heavier than usual. The employee twisted while lifting and pulled a muscle in his lower back. The conveyor that was being worked on was locked out.
