Narrative

The bulk grease tank could only be raised out of the containment approximately 1 foot due to configuration of the pump hoses and piping. Once at that height, the pump could be removed, allowing the grease tank to be removed from containment and clean-up to proceed. The employee bent over to remove pump and felt sharp pain in back.
